ATTEND THE TALE OF DANNY TANNER: A FULL HOUSE MUSICAL Extends thru August, September

By:

Completely sold out since it hit the ground running in May, ATTEND THE TALE OF DANNY TANNER: A FULL HOUSE MUSICAL has been extended yet again. It will perform TUESDAYS at 7:30pm, August 14 & 21, and September 4-25,2012. 

Wake up San Fran, if you can! It's been seven years since Danny Tanner's wife, the sweet, sweet Pamela Tanner, was tragically killed by a drunk driver, throwing the Tanners' lives into equal parts chaos and hilarity. Every year since then, Danny, his brother-in-law Jesse, and best friend Joey kill a drunk driver on the anniversary of Pamela's death. This is the year everything goes wrong!

In this original musical, the true life of Danny Tanner and his family is exposed; promises will be broken, sinister paths explored, lives (maybe even of main characters!) will be lost, and yes, songs will be sung. Whether you're a member of the Full House fan club or scoff in a superior fashion when you hear someone utter "Cut It Out", you will find both a touch of nostalgia and an illuminating light shining brightly on the Tanners' most clandestine realities in this black comedy with a twist. Come see the Tanners as you've never seen them before. Attend the Tale.

The show is written by Chris Gorton and Katie Johnston-Smith, and directed by Kelly Williams.

The cast features: Rob Speer (Danny Tanner), Katie Johnston-Smith (DJ Tanner), Meghan M. Hillmeyer (Stephanie Tanner), Ali Keirn (Michelle Tanner), James Dolbeare (Jesse Katsopolis), Chris Gorton (Joey Gladstone), Tom Daily (Man, Steve, Woodchuck, etc), and Miryam Andrews (Woman, Becky, Kimmy Gibbler, etc).

Tickets to ATTEND THE TALE OF DANNY TANNER: A FULL HOUSE MUSICAL are $15, and may be purchased via www.gorillatango.com or 773-598-4549.
