An original play Old Man River which is a part of the Midwinter Madness Short Play Festival, directed by. Guil Fisher.

  Old Man River is a play about living in the moment and the chance encounters that happen every day and which we rarely take the time to stop and appreciate.  Oh, and there are laughs.  Lots of laughs.  And love.  And a most talented ensemble that will make all forty-five minutes of my show worth your while. 

  I've enclosed a link below with relevant show dates and ticket information.  Show dates are Wednesday February 20th at 8:00, Friday February 22nd at 9:45, and Sunday, February 24th at 1:30 pm.  Come on out and support.
