Horse Trade Theater Group & Grayce Productions' RIGHT CROSS RHAPSODY Closes 6/26

RIGHT CROSS RHAPSODY is an affectionate parody of 1930's-style films, which combines elements of Hollywood boxing melodramas such as Golden Boy and City for Conquest while adding a soupcon of backstage musicals. With riotous jokes, quips, double-entendres this movie parody is bound to please audiences of all ages.

RIGHT CROSS RHAPSODY will feature Jeff Auer, Courtney Cook, Matt Garner, Jason Griffith*, Brian Hopson, Jessica Luck, Todd Michael, and Ryan Stadler*. *Appearing courtesy of the Actors' Equity Association
