Rover Dramawerks continues their 17th Season with the World Premiere comedy, Bigger by Ron Peer. Performances will be at Rover's theatre in Plano, located in Ruisseau Village at 221 W. Parker Rd, Suite 580, at the northwest corner of Parker and 75. Performances run March 9 through April 1, 2017 on Thursdays and Fridays at 8:00 p.m. and on Saturdays at 3:00 and 8:00 p.m.

Plastic surgeon John Swift (played by Lucas Slade) is in BIG trouble...he's in debt to loan sharks, the FBI (agents played by Alexandra Moffit and Darwin Ragsdale) wants him to help bring down a ruthless mobster (Gary Anderson), and he's gotten both his wife (Gena Loe) and the mobster's girlfriend (Tammy Venable) pregnant. Throw in Dr. Swift's Pepto Bismol guzzling receptionist (Nancy Lamb), a clueless bodyguard (Doug Luke), and an ancient godfather with a little problem (Joe Porter), and you won't believe how he manages to get out of it!

Rick Tuman serves as director, with Stuart Neef as stage manager. Set design is by Abby Kipp-Roberts, with lighting design by Jacob Hughes and sound design by Steven Roberts. Costumes design is by Sakura Brunette, with props designed by Terrie W. Justus.

Thursday, March 9 is Preview Night, with all seats $10.00 in advance online or "pay-what-you-can" at the door.
