The play was written by Bill Berry who is the producer and director of the theater com- pany. David Austin of New York City wrote the musical score. Performers for this production, staged locally on March 26, were Shanna Palmer, Dane Stokinger, Casey Craig, Jason Kappus, Matt Shimkus and R.J. Tancioco, who is the group's pianist.
