Napa Valley Players presents Fully Committed
This devastatingly funny play by Becky Mode follows a day in the life of Sam Peliczowski, an out-of-work actor who mans the red-hot reservation line at Manhattan's number-one restaurant. Coercion, threats, bribes, histrionics—a cast of desperate callers will stop at nothing in their zeal to land a prime reservation, or the right table. Amid the barrage, Sam's got his own needs to contend with—his recently widowed dad wants him home for Christmas, and he's up for a choice part at Lincoln Center. While juggling scheming socialites, name-dropping wannabes, fickle celebrities and egomaniacal bosses, can he manage to look out for himself?
Perfect for the foodie Napa Valley, “Fully Committed” is a one-man show that theNew York Times called a “mocking dismantlement of megalomaniacal chefs, coked-up maitres d'hotel, food-averse V.I.P.'s, strung-out publicity agents and customers with exploding bowels.” Well-known Bay Area actor Dan Saski brings his skills to portraying 40 characters in this hilarious romp, recently seen at 6th Street Playhouse in Santa Rosa.
