Get To Know The Cast Of THREE MEN ON A HORSE- Day Seven

TACT/The Actors Company Theatre presents Three Men on a Horse, by John Cecil Holm & George Abbott, the final production of the company's 2010/11 season. Directed by TACT Co-Artistic Director Scott Alan Evans, performances began at Theatre Row's Beckett Theatre (410 West 42nd Street - between 9th & 10th Avenues) on Monday, March 14th, 2011.

The cast of Three Men on A Horse includes TACT Company Members Jeffrey C. Hawkins (The Memorandum, Incident at Vichy), Ron McClary (Incident at Vichy, Home), James Murtaugh (The Late Christopher Bean; Ah, Wilderness-Lincoln Center), Gregory Salata (Bent, Incident at Vichy), and Scott Schafer (Eccentricities of a Nightingale, Bedroom Farce).

In Three Men on a Horse, hen-pecked greeting-card writer, Erwin Trowbridge, has an uncanny ability for predicting the winners of horse races. For Erwin it's just a hobby, but when his extraordinary talent is discovered by a down-and-out pack of gamblers, Erwin suddenly finds himself very far from his safe suburban home in Ozone Heights. This dizzy and delightful Depression-era comedy by one of theatre's most accomplished showmen will bring a much needed lift to your Recession -wearied spirits.

The cast of THREE MEN ON A HORSE took some time to speak with Broadwayworld. The questions will run one each day everyday for the remainder of the week. 

Day seven question seven: There have been past attempts to revive the play, why do you think this production was able to come together?

JEFFREY C. HAWKINS (Charlie)

The last two TACT mainstage shows have been very challenging, intellectually. 3 MEN is far from challenging in that regard. It's just fun as hell to play and, hopefully, be a part of in the audience.

 

Geoffrey Molloy (Erwin)

The Actors Company Theatre is an amazing company that takes risks and produces plays that are rarely done. It is their guts and determination that gives a play like Three Men on A Horse the new life it deserves.

 

Julianna Zinkel (Mabel)

Right time, right place, right people. TACT's expertise with language plays also helps!

 

Gregory Salata (Patsy)

Simple! Pure unadulterated megalomaniacal insanity. And we love every minute of it! You will too. Visit!

 

 

 

 

Don Burroughs (Frankie)

It's a good cast with a good director and a good company, all committed to staying true to the play. Bottom line - it's fun - soup to nuts.
