Somewhere amidst the cracked asphalt and overgrown weeds on the
highway to nowhere is Miss Hope's, a small-town diner where wistful
wannabes with half-forgotten dreams meet, mingle and tell their
stories. Consisting of three timeless tales with more than a little
laughter, tears, irony and a pinch of The Twilight Zone, and told
against the backdrop of the presidential inaugurations of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, Miss Hope's will be open for business starting tonight, May 23rd at the Sargent Theatre at the American Theatre of Actors, located at 314 West 54th Street. Miss Hope's is directed by David Triacca, and written by Jack Karp, Alisha Silver and
Joseph Samuel Wright of the Nylon Fusion Writers Collective.
