Photo Flash: First Look at WHERE HAS TOMMY FLOWERS GONE? Off-Off-Broadway

Starting 5 Productions presents Terrence McNally's Where Has Tommy Flowers Gone?, directed by Laura Braza. Performances begin tonight, November 30th, and continue through December 17th, 2017. Opening night is this Saturday, December 2nd, and BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

Constructed as a series of vignettes, skits and brief incidents, the play portrays the life and attitude of one Tommy Flowers-irrepressible cut-up, determined freeloader and disenchanted rebel against society. In the course of his adventures he befriends a destitute old actor, acquires an oversized sheep dog (his best friend) and finds love with a beautiful music student (whom he meets in the ladies' room at Bloomingdale's). But as Tommy moves from scene to scene, his bright red shopping bag at the ready for pilfering, and his agile wit poised to hoodwink everyone in sight, we also glimpse the root causes of his alienation-his ailing, complaining mother back home; an unhappily married brother; a former girlfriend who has settled for a suffocating domesticity; and a venturing forth that has brought more rejection than acceptance. In the end, betrayed yet again, but still buoyantly defiant, Tommy devises his final rip-off-a bomb to blow him, and at least some small portion of a world he cannot accept, into oblivion.

The production stars Noelle Franco as Girls, David Gow as Tommy Flowers, Emma Geer as Nedda Lemon, Daniel O'Shea as Ben, Sam Garber as Arnold, Al Fallick as Men, and Emily Kitchens as Women.

The production features scenic design by Zach Serafin and Mariah Pepper Berkowitz is the stage manager.
