A Note From The Director.... 

Clifford Odets writes plays with big ideas, his stories involve living, breathing people who laugh, cry, love, hate, fight, fuss, live and die.  We see who they are, and we learn who they aren’t, we wring our hands over where they are because we see where they should be, and he does it in a style that is steeped in an era so tantalizingly different from our own.  In short it’s really fun stuff to work on! Thank you Mattia Bartoli for your tireless and fearless passion. Thank you Rochelle Rossman for the endless amount of work you continue to do to make productions like Golden Boy happen. Thank you my amazing cast and crew who put their faith in me to direct this beautiful play, thank you all for coming out and supporting our show…and thank you Mr. Odets!
