In the world premiere play "The Pitch," a widower, desperate for money, takes a low-level sales job in a boiler room, while trying to deal with his teenage daughters newfound autonomy. This powerful new work pulls from playwright Tom Alpers tumultuous personal experiences both in the room and at home, adding the layers of a dramatic and moving father/daughter subplot. The Pitch examines whether or not a person can maintain his integrity and not deviate from his morals, while facing both internal and external pressures.DATES AND TIMES:May 7 22Saturdays at 7 p.m.Sundays at 3:30 p.m.

News About The Pitch at The Lyric Hyperion
Review: THE PITCH at Odyssey Theatre
July 26, 2024 Based on playwright and lead actor Tom Alper’s real life experiences, this is a boiler room tale of telemarketing and desperation. For something that is fiercely realistic and edgy, with a New York fighter’s indie heart, The Pitch is also hilarious, life-affirming, and an insanely good time. It’s a sold-out smash hit at the Odyssey Theatre.
