Special Back Alley Theater Benefit Show Saturday, October 15 @ 8PM featuring John Weber

Ami and Evadne are undertudies for the leading actress in a successful broadway show in New York City. Several years into the open-ended run, Ami and Evadne find themselves drowning in failure. Marinating in their one room apartment on the Lower East Side, they rehearse daily how they would kill Donna, the actress for whom they understudy. After Evadne falsely accuses Donna's lover and director, Albert, of sexual harassment, they must act on their plans to end Donna's life before they are caught. They head to the theater to accomplish their goal and change their destinies. Will they succeed in destroying their nemesis or will they be buried beneath the debris of their failed hopes and shattered dreams?
