Nathan Keepers Leads FULLY COMMITTED At The Jungle Theater 11/5

The talented Nathan Keepers reprises the role of Sam and 40 other characters in the solo tour-de-force comedy FULLY COMMITTED, directed by Casey Stangl and opening at The Jungle Theater, 2951 Lyndale Ave. S., Minneapolis, November 5. Both Keepers and Stangl return to Minneapolis from coastal stints to bring back Becky Mode's hysterically funny play about an out-of-work actor who staffs the red-hot reservation line at Manhattan's number-one restaurant.

Fully CommitTed Follows a day in the life of Sam Peliczowski, the rock-steady restaurant reservationist, as he juggles scheming socialites, name-dropping wannabes, fickle celebrities and egomaniacal bosses. The play runs through December 19.

Fully Committed enjoyed severAl Weeks of sold-out shows during its initial successful run in 2002. To accommodate demand, the Jungle produced the criticallyacclaimed one-man play six months later at Pantages in downtown Minneapolis. In its 20th Anniversary Season, the Jungle is staging plays that are recognized as audience favorites as well as those that honor some of the 20th century's greatest playwrights.

Jungle Artistic Director Bain Boehlke is back as Fully Committed's scenic director. The creative team also includes Barry Browning (lighting), Amelia Cheever (costumes), Wu Chen Khoo (technical) and John Novak (properties).
