The stress of a job interview is cranked up to 10 when a gun is thrown in the mix. If the interview goes poorly, someone dies. In a claustrophobic game of cat and mouse, both interviewer and interviewee desperately try to escape a high-rise office with their lives. Final Interview exposes the corruption behind corporate greed and the ability to right the wrongs of one’s past. Running time is 80 minutes with no intermission. Scenic design is by Annie Terrazzo, and the stage manager is Rachel Zerger-Oliva.

As a writer, his films Gay Camp and Weekend Warriors have won numerous festival awards. Final Interview is his first produced play.
