ABOUT "COLD COLD FEET"…
Attic Playhouse is thrilled to be presenting the NORTH SHORE PREMIERE of "Cold Cold Feet"! "Cold Cold Feet" made its World Premiere at the Theatre Building Chicago in July, 2006 (produced by Diamante Productions). Playwright Tony Fiorentino - a local Glenview native - produced and assistant directed that premiere, and returns to the Attic Playhouse to direct the play's second production. Mr. Fiorentino was named "First Runner-Up" in the annual Robert .J. Pickering Award for Playwrighting Excellence for his "Cold Cold Feet" script. "Cold Cold Feet" is the second of five scripts written by Tony Fiorentino, including: "Lease on Love" (2005), "Fraternal Instinct" (2007), "My Dinner with Amy" (2008), and his soon to be presented "All My Love" (2009). Tony received his B.F.A. in Acting from the University of Illinois, and has appeared on-stage at the Attic Playhouse in four productions including: "Love in E-Flat", "Our Lady of the Tortilla", "Over the River and Through the Woods" and "A Shayna Maidel". His work has also been produced at the American Theatre of Actors in New York;, the Northeast Theatre in Pennsylvania; the Riverfront Theatre in Rockford; and Theatre Building Chicago and the Athenaeum Theatre in Chicago.
