Cooler, the world premiere dark comedy by Craig Houk, explores the complex dynamics of aging, ambition, and rivalry between two legendary actors, Jack Dunn and Wade Henry. As the evening unfolds with drinking and poker, long-held grudges and reputations are put to the test, leading to unexpected revelations. Directed by Katie Calahan, the production features regional talents Jason Hoolihan, Kyle Stone, and Denise Mestanza-Taylor. The play delves into themes of toxic masculinity and the burdens of ego, creating a gripping narrative that challenges its characters in a night filled with tension.
