*Helen Hayes Awards Recommended*

One Actor. Twelve Characters. 1000 Catastrophes.

In this comic tour de farce, a single actor brings to life an entire town of squabbling parents, dim-witted servants, and young lovers whose wedding plans are ruined until love prevails and comedy triumphs. Premiered in Italy and performed in London and New York City, THE GREAT ONE-MAN COMMEDIA EPIC receives it's first extended run in DC at CHAW this holiday season. Fun for the whole family!
