An early closing date for our production, Speed-the-Plow. The production, originally set to close April 23, will now close Monday, April 9. Producer Bobby Gould (Jamie Warrow) must decide whether to give the go ahead to yet another bad action flick, scored by best friend Charlie Fox (Leah Smith), guaranteed to be a blockbuster or produce an earnest, apocalyptic novel, championed by sexy temp Karen (Kelly Rossi), that can greatly effect change but will almost certainly flop.

Saturday, March 24. 12:00 p.m – 3:00 p.m. Sign up for an audition time here.
