THE GOODBYE PEOPLE
by Herb Gardner
January 27 - February 27, 2005
Old Max Silverman has a dream--he wants to open a hot dog stand, on Coney Island, in February. Max is obsessed with recapturing the glory years of tube steak history, for one last grand hot-dog hurrah. He's enlisted his wayward daughter and a beachcombing stranger to help in the crazy venture. This quirky, madcap comedy is out to prove that it's never too late to go after your dreams.
Directed by David Cecsarini
Featuring David Cecsarini, Richard Halverson,
