Foreclosure One Act Play Selected For Samuel French Fest At Peter Jay Sharp Theater 7/16

"Foreclosure," a one-act play about a middle-class family caught up in the calamity of today's fierce economic downturn, has been selected from over 700 plays to be one of the "Final 40" during the week-long Samuel French Off-Off Broadway Short Play Festival beginning July 14, 2009. It will be presented at 9:00PM on Thursday, July 16th at the Peter Jay Sharp Theatre (416 West 42nd Street) in Manhattan.

Written by eight time Festival participant George Cameron Grant, this poignant and topical drama tells the story of Faith, a wife and mother who, witnessing the world closing in on the home and family she loves, embraces the solution fate unexpectedly provides to save them. The production
is directed by Vince Bandille, and features Olivia Horton, Andrew Langton, Louis Michael Sacco,
Jon Freda and Charles Gould.

"Faith and her family live next door. They're our neighbors, friends, relatives, in-laws and co-workers. They are real people living out a modern day tragedy that now engulfs the American dream," said Grant. "If ‘Foreclosure' gives voice to the vulnerability and fear so many of us live with on a daily basis, I'll have done my job."

Grant is the author of six full length plays, over twenty one-act plays and countless monologues.
His evening of holiday plays, "4X'MAS," has just been published by Baker's Plays.
