Synopsis

Sometimes the best show isn't onstage but in the parking lot.

This comedy is told from the point of view of the unsung heroes who call the shows, man the spotlights, sew the costumes, count the tickets, and suffer through every flubbed line, forgotten prop, and missed cue.

Press Reviews

"An amusing, energetic jolt that skewers pretentious concept directors yet has a soft spot for actors and technicians." - Backstage"I was glad I saw Streisand in Funny Girl in the '60's, the original cast of A Chorus Line in the '70's, Merrily We Roll Along in the '80's and Nick and Nora in the '90's. But this decade I'm just glad to have seen Two on the Aisle, Three in a Van."
— Peter Filchia, Theatremania
