Travis Bergmann, Amy Losi, Dustin Pazar, Amanda Stamm, and Annie Unger star in a new play written and directed by Sean Szak Prasso about a Louisville, KY, lawyer's past catching up with him when he decides to run for mayor.
Conservative ex-lawyer, Blake Jean, has carefully built a quiet, respectable life with his wife, Charlotte. But as he steps into the public eye with a mayoral campaign promising order, a figure from his past returns, stirring up long-buried questions and threatening to unravel the image he's worked hard to maintain.
The American Theatre of Actors was founded in 1976 by James Jennings, who continues as its President and Artistic Director. It is a repertory theatre company consisting of 50 actors, 15 playwrights and 8 directors. Its purpose is to promote the development of new playwrights, directors and actors and provide them a creative atmosphere in which to work without the pressures of commercial theatre.
The plays are dramas and comedies dealing with the social and ethical problems of contemporary society. Over 1000 new works have been presented and more than 11,000 actors have worked at A.T.A., including Dennis Quaid, Bruce Willis, Danny Aiello, Dan Lauria, Chazz Palminteri, Kevin O'Connor, William Fichtner, Edie Falco and Kathryn Hahn.
