Dinners With Augie at the Geery Theater<\/p><\/div>\n

Dinners With Augie <\/em>is the story of Arthur Valentine, Danielle Signorello, and Dr. Tom Mauro.\u00a0 Arthur is an elderly man, a patient of Dr. Mauro’s; Dani is his nurse.\u00a0 Arthur must finally confront his own mortality.\u00a0 As he examines his life, he remembers a dog he and his wife had — Augie — and how much that dog meant to them.\u00a0\u00a0 Arthur comes to realize how caring for another being, even a dog, has tremendous potential for spiritual growth.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dani and Dr. Mauro help Arthur understand the true context of that experience.<\/p>\n

The show stars Jeff Webster as Arthur, April Maylene as Dani, and Cameron Johnson as Dr. Tom Mauro.\u00a0 Directed by Leo McElroy.<\/p>\n

Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n

Author’s Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have to say that a year ago I really didn’t have any idea that all this would happen.\u00a0\u00a0 A lot of fun, but a lot of work as well. Last June about this time I was working with a small cast for a reading of my first play, Dinners With Augie<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0 Now I have a cast, director, crew and a theater for that very same play!\u00a0 Three very talented actors — Jeff Webster, April Maylene, and Cameron Johnson — and a great director, Leo McElroy.\u00a0 Audrey Kerster is my stage manager.\u00a0 Mary Casey’s <\/a>poster artwork is incredible, the Geery Theater is a marvelous venue.\u00a0 It is all good!<\/em> Many thanks for Gary Agid<\/a> and the Playwright’s Collaborative for all their help and support.<\/p>\n

Historical sidenote: the Geery was also known as the “Show Below” and was designed by Ivan Sandoval (now deceased), one of Sacramento’s great musical talents.<\/p>\n

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!<\/p>\n
