Photo Flash: First Look at BODY AWARENESS at Beck Center

Beck Center is pleased to welcome David Vegh as he makes his Studio Theater debut directing this smart and generous comedy. He is currently the Assistant Professor in the Department of Theater at Case Western Reserve University. As a member of the Actors' Equity Association (AEA) and SAG-AFTRA, Vegh has appeared onscreen in Saving Private Ryan, Dexter, Grey's Anatomy, and more. "I tend to like plays that walk a very fine line between comedy and drama," remarked Vegh. "If my stomach hurts from laughing so hard and then also be moved to the point of tears, that's my kind of show. That, to me, is life."

Body Awareness features a talented cast of four actors ready to bring Baker's play to life. Julia Kolibab and Anne McEvoy appear as partners Phyllis and Joyce, along with Richie Gagen as Joyce's son, Jared. Rick Montgomery Jr. joins the cast as Frank, a guest artist spending Body Awareness Week with the family. Equity actors Kolibab and Montgomery appear courtesy of the AEA, the union of actors and stage managers.
