The Play
Imagine David Mamet writing like vintage Neil Simon.  That’s the laugh-filled November, a play about incompetence, greed, lobbyists and re-election.   President Charles “Chucky” Smith is nearing the end of his first term, and prospects for a second look poor.  His campaign manager has gone on vacation, his wife is already planning the décor in the memorial library and his speechwriter is too sick to come to work.  Can he save his chances by pardoning two turkeys at Thanksgiving?  A terrific comedy to kick off the new RVP season..
