The Phoenix Theatre Company to Present FULLY COMMITTED This Month

The Phoenix Theatre Company will present its upcoming production of "Fully Committed," a hilarious one-person show by Becky Mode that takes audiences behind the scenes of a trendy high-end New York City restaurant. Running from July 10 through August 11, this production features a unique twist: two actors sharing the lead role of Sam, providing audiences with a double helping of comedy.

"Fully Committed" is a fast-paced tour de force that follows a day in the life of Sam, the beleaguered reservations manager who navigates a whirlwind of frantic phone calls, eccentric customers, and an over-the-top chef. Sam, overworked and underpaid, manages to navigate a whirlwind of conversations from socialites, celebrities, and desperate diners, all while wrestling with the personal dilemma of whether to visit family for the holidays or continue struggling as a working actor. It's a touching, laugh-a-minute journey through the chaotic world of upscale dining and the lengths to which people will go to secure a coveted reservation.

"Scenic Designer Douglas Clark has given us a wonderful playground for comedy. In rehearsal, we have discovered inventive opportunities to use the literal location - a dingy basement beneath a high-end restaurant - as the various environments these dozens of characters inhabit. It's a comedic whirlwind and delicious challenge for these spectacular actors," said Chelsea Anderson, Casting Director at The Phoenix Theatre Company and director of the production.

The dual casting features Alison Campbell* and Wesley Bradstreet, both of whom bring their own unique flair to the role while each playing 40 different characters during this 80-minute play. Audiences will have the opportunity to see different performances on alternating nights, making a return to the show a fresh and exciting experience.

Tickets for "Fully Committed" are on sale now and start at $55. To purchase, call (602) 254-2151 or visit www.phoenixtheatre.com.
