Sam Affoumado's new play "More Suds" will receive an Equity staged reading with presentations on November 14-15 at the Playroom Theater in Manhattan. Edward Tolve, Michael Lorz, Adam Davenport, Mark Peters and Miguel A. Collado are set to star.
The play follows Marty Hardman (Edward Tolve) and his devoted city pals, Chris (the pretentious Chef de Cuisine--played by Michael Lorz) and Don (writer of children's books and Doctor Seuss enthusiast--Adam Davenport) to their new country digs. The peace and quiet of the countryside is shattered with the unexpected arrival of Marty's autistic Uncle Ira (Mark Peters) and a hot but kinky pondscaper (Miguel A. Collado). Adapting to the "country life" isn't as easy as it seems.
