Angelenos Prepare for A STEADY RAIN at Hollywood Fringe

A STEADY RAIN to be presented at the 2017 Hollywood Fringe Festival. Written by Keith Huff (Mad Men, House of Cards, American Crime) and Directed by prominent Hollywood acting coach, John Kirby (The Age of Adeline, The Count of Monte Cristo, Stick It).

Joey and Denny are Chicago cops and lifelong friends. After being passed over for detective promotions the third time in a row, it's obvious that Denny's aversion to following protocol, Joey's drinking problem, and dual formal reprimands from the department are stonewalling their careers. When a domestic disturbance call takes a twisted turn, a severe lapse in judgement begins to unravel their trust and loyalty.

Told entirely by the two characters, this story rips, seamlessly, between individual recounting and live action. It's increasingly apparent, however, that the two sides of their story don't add up. "It's an exciting challenge", says Hoff who plays Joey, "to tackle such a great and intricate piece. It's one of those roles of a lifetime."
