"The plot of Speed-the-Plow focuses on two high-powered Hollywood executives, Charlie Fox and Bobby Gould, who have come up from the mailroom together. Charlie brings Bobbie a surefire hit with a major star attached. Bobby seems certain to give the green light, until his beautiful new secretary gets involved. In addition to the action among the characters, director Greco is fascinated with the play's broader cultural background of Hollywood and the movies," explain press notes.
The design team for Speed-the-Plow includes G. W. "Skip" Mercier (sets), Alex Jaeger (costumes), York Kennedy (lights), Jake Rodriguez (sound).
Performances are through February 3. Showtimes are Tuesdays – Saturdays at 8PM (except January
