Desperate Times-Desperate Measures
This is the play that I’m in — I play a drug cartel hit man that’s been saved by Jesus, but still has a little “business” to take care of. It’s very R-rated, so leave the kids at home. But be prepared to laugh and be shocked, outraged and otherwise entertained! We’ve got a great cast — Tom Moriarity, Dean Vivian, Pete Weber, Nathaneal Card, Melissa McGuiness, Ric Averil and ATS Actor Jeff East, who plays my big brother! Written by Ron Simonian and Co-Directed by Ron and the Rep’s Kyle Hatley.
