Coho Productions Presents PS, I LOVE YOUR DAUGHTER 6/17-20

Coho Productions, in collaboration with Double Diamond Productions, is proud to announce the World Premier performance of "PS, I Love Your Daughter," a new comedy written by Gary Corbin and directed by Erin Thomas, June 17-20, 2010 at Coho Theater, 2275 NW Raleigh St. in Portland.

Michael, a 40-something man still recovering from his divorce three years prior, gets back on the dating market at the urging of his best friend and former drill sergeant, Paul. Michael meets 30-ish Jennifer at a trade show and asks her out. She accepts - and only then does he realize that she is Paul's estranged daughter. Michael's attempt to keep the relationship secret creates a serious rift with his friend and pushes the father-daughter rift to the brink.

The cast includes Brandon Zupancic as Michael (who played the villainous Manningham in New Century Players' production of "Angel Street"), Michael Biesanz as Paul (Phillipe in Public Playhouse's "Heroes"), Bonnie Auguston as Jennifer (who plays Chava in Clackamas Repertory's upcoming "Fiddler on the Roof"), and Trevor Brady as the hapless dork Derek (HART's "Biloxi Blues"). Director Erin Thomas is a well-known as an actress and for her work producing Coho's "24-Hour Productions" (see below). Playwright Gary Corbin is best known for his comedy "Happy Anniversary," performed as part of 2010's Fertile Ground festival, and played the role of Jonathan Brewster in Magenta Theater's "Arsenic and Old Lace."
