Photo Flash: FULLY COMMITTED At Christian Herter Park
One actor (Gabriel Kuttner*) plays all of the nearly forty characters in this rapid-fire comedy, at the center of which is Sam Peliczowski, an out-of-work actor who pays the bills with a nightmare job-taking reservations for a hot Manhattan restaurant. Sam juggles the phones in a rat-infested basement, suffering the pleas, threats, and desperate demands of status-obsessed New Yorkers vying for a table at the "in" spot of the moment. Sam is forced to contend with snobby VIP's, celebrities and their entitled assistants, a gangster, socialites, and strung-out publicity agents, as well as the restaurant's terrorizing chef (whose specialty is "global fusion").
FULLY COMMITTED premiered off-Broadway to critical acclaim in 1999 and has enjoyed several smashing runs and revivals throughout the country. Becky Mode and Mark Setlock, who played Sam in the original production, developed the play after working together at a posh Manhattan restaurant, with their experiences providing inspiration for this hilarious and biting comedy.
What past reviews have said about FULLY COMMITTED:
"...immensely entertaining, a richly comic affirmation of everything I've ever or suspected, about the bad behavior that good food can inspire." -The New York Times
"...hilarious and touching, gallops along at a swift, almost frantic pace." -Time Out New York
"...a sparkling one-man tour de force...very funny and very believable..." -The New York Post
