Brief Synopsis:
If sport is a metaphor for life, a parallel of all things physical and metaphysical, then Jake's life is a 7-10 split. Whether being his own boss in a backwater bowling alley or curbing his daughter's attempts to help him find romance, his days are a dichotomy of life's certainties and death's mysteries, of perfect bowling form and disastrous marriages. He's a quintessential nobody, yet shadowed by a mysterious man with an attaché cuffed to his wrist. A hilarious comedy by the author of our past hit, Private Eyes.

Roles - 2 men and 3 women:
Jake Tomlinson (35-50), a would-be concert pianist with a passion for bowling...and really bad luck. Owner of the Dust Bowl.

Molly (mid to late teens), Jake's daughter by his first wife.

Lois (30-40), Jake's second wife and Molly's stepmother.

Mister Dyson (30+), a man with a briefcase handcuffed to his wrist. (Prefer a black man for this role.)

All roles are available.
