American Hero by Bess Wohl at Trinity Episcopal Church

Actors Collaborative Toledo and The Toledo Rep Present American Hero May 12th – 14th at Trinity Episcopal Church, 316 Adams St., Toledo, OH 43604.

At a toasted subs franchise in the local mall, three up-and-coming “sandwich artists"—a teenager, a single mom, and a downsized refugee from corporate banking—are perfecting the mustard-to-cheese ratio according to the company manual. But when their shot at the American dream is interrupted by a series of strange events, they become unlikely allies in a post-recession world. American Hero is a supersized dark comedy about life, liberty, and the pursuit of sandwiches.

The New York Times wrote: “[Bess Wohl’s] darkly funny comedy...takes a wry, compassionate attitude toward American workers barely clinging to the bottom rungs of the economic ladder.”

Theater veteran Fran Martone directs a cast that includes Abbey Casino as Shari, Liam Elli as Bob, Jeffrey Adam Guion as Ted, and Hali Malecki as Jamie.

The show will be performed Friday, May 12th and Saturday, May 13th at 8:00 pm and Sunday, May 14th at 2:30 pm. All performances will be at Trinity Episcopal Church, 316 Adams Street in downtown Toledo.
