daughter and Leo (Lauria), Benny's former best friend who turned him over to the
House Un-American Activities Committee in the 50's. Benny's daughter is
now an actress, and circumstances occur which give Benny the
opportunity to confront his once beloved friend face to face," state
press notes. James Grossman will direct.Lauria, who most recently appeared Off-Broadway in A Stone Carver, is well-known for his work on "The Wonder Years." Larsen, a Tony-nominee for The Most Happy Fella, has also appeared on Broadway in Hairspray, The Rocky Horror Show and more. Visit www.GSPonline.org for more information.
