Photos: First look at Curtain Players' PRESENT LAUGHTER

The egocentric, self-indulgent actor, Garry Essendine, is at the height of his fame on the London stage. He has a multitude of adoring fans, but he fears becoming obsolete now that he has turned forty. Adding to this impending mid-life crisis, Garry must deal with a parade of interlopers who disrupt preparations for his overseas theatrical tour. His household is thrown into chaos as he juggles an infatuated debutante, an unhinged playwright, a seductive married woman, his long-suffering secretary, and his estranged wife, as well as the entangled love lives of his close colleagues.

Directed by Bethany Schoeff, Produced by Sharifa Andrews, Stage Manager Jennifer Shively. Cast: Cory Baker (Fred), Julia Cannell (Joanna), Beth Connell (Lady Saltburn), Jeff Kemeter (Hugo), Chelsea Martins (Miss Erikson), Casey Merkey (Garry), Sarah Merkey (Liz), Brian A.
