This is Derek’s second show with Center Street Theatre Co. Derek’s gained several lines of dialogue since the original performance. (This was due mostly to his stellar delivery of what was then his only line.) He’s hoping the bartender will be a main character in the next re-write.

This is Tara’s first time bringing her considerable talent and charisma to the stage with Center Street Theatre Co. Tara has been acting most of her life, playing in numerous productions, and even playing as an extra in Hollywood shows and films. She’s the wife of Gregg Garner, and so she’s naturally the inspiration behind his work, and thus, really, the inspiration behind the entire performance you’re about to enjoy.

This is Rachel’s first show with Center Street Theatre Co., which has led us to wonder how we ever got through shows without her enthusiasm. Other than being one of the most energetic people on the stage, Rachel also teaches full time, teaching with the same enthusiasm and panache she uses to light up the stage.
Stephen Ownby

This is Stephen’s fourth production with Center Street Theatre Co. Stephen shares the stage with his wife, Kim Ownby, who he’s happy to be upstaged by. Every performance.
