My full-length Texas farce, Home\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0Great\u00a0Pecan<\/strong> <\/em>will be presented this season at Chester Theatre Group<\/a> in Chester, New Jersey. I’m honored to be part of a season which also included King\u00a0Lear<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0The\u00a0Bald\u00a0Soprano<\/strong>.<\/em>

The dates are April 26th through May 12th, 2019. Looks like they are doing the play with 7 actors. It’s a very unique play in that it can be done with as few as 4 actors playing about 20 parts… or as many as 20 actors (though a few are voiceover roles).

If you’d like to find out more about the play and even read the first scene, go to the Home of the Great Pecan<\/strong><\/a><\/em> website. There are also some really fun photos there from productions that have been done around the country.

A little history about the play… it started as a stand-alone 10-minute play entitled Brain Sucking<\/a><\/em><\/strong>,<\/a> which was produced at Actor’s Theater of Louisville years ago, and subsequently published in Dramatics Magazine<\/em>.

To license the full-length Texas comedy, Home of the Great Pecan <\/strong>(by Stephen Bittrich) which has been described as Great Tuna<\/strong> meets Plan Nine from Outer Space<\/strong>, go to Broadway Play Publishing<\/a>.<\/em>
