The performers include Jeff Liggett, Gina Marie Davies, Priscilla Arcamone, Holly Jodoin, Carolyn Doherty, Rich Guadiosi, David Macharelli, Rick Malone, Cindy Harris, and Nick Demetriades who all thrive as individuals and as a collective group of talented performers in bringing positive energy that makes this comedy come to life on stage!
