Griffin Theatre Company is pleased to launch its 2015-16 season with the Midwest premiere of Samuel D.

Berenice Ave. in Chicago. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
POCATELLO features Sandy Elias, Sam Guinan-Nyhart, Bob Kruse, Allie Long, Nina O'Keefe, Morgan Maher, Michael McKeough, Mechelle Moe, Becca Savoy and Lynda Shadrake.

Home doesn't feel like home anymore for Eddie, an Italian chain restaurant manager who is losing connections with his co-workers and his family. Set in the harsh backdrop of Pocatello, Idaho - a small, unexceptional American city - Samuel D. Hunter's heartbreaking comedy is a cry and the struggle we face to create an authentic experience - to forge true community - in a place that is being transformed into the endless artificiality of Walmarts, Applebees and strip malls.
