In 1999, in a black-box theater in L.A., five actors perform a drama about friendship. But what happens backstage when they shed their characters? In this innovative production, which breaks a different kind of fourth wall, the audience members find out. Half of them, in turn, watch the play while the other half “spy” on the actors when they’re backstage, where they reveal their own personal dramas—along with their challenging, consuming love of theater.
The production stars Michele Baldwin as Steph/Joi, James Edward Becton* as Eric/Tom, Chris Bethune as Homeless Man/Dave, Nathaniel J. Ryan as Scott/Alan and Cheridan Westmoreland as Tina/Sarah.
The production, Costume Design by Robert Weinstein, Sound and Lighting Board Operator by Geoffrey Christopher and Stage Management by Robyn Renee.
