Austin Playhouse to Present I'M NOT RAPPAPORT

This Tony Award-winning play introduces audiences to the unforgettable characters Nat and Midge, two senior citizens who meet in Central Park to escape and combat the sometimes unpleasant realities of life. Together they fight injustice, spin fantasies, and form a friendship full of comic genius. Our production reunites acclaimed actors Tom Parker and Billy Harden as Nat and Midge--roles they've played for director Don Toner in 1989 and 1998 productions. As Toner says, "They're damn near old enough to play the parts now!"

I'm Not Rappaport stars Billy Harden as Midge Carter and Tom Parker as Nat Moyer with Mary Agen Cox as Clara Gelber, Barry Miller as Cowboy, Stephen Mercantel as Gilly, and Kenedi Delgado as Laurie Campbell.

The play is directed by Don Toner with set design by Mike Toner, lighting design by Don Day, and sound design by Joel Mercado-See.
