July 12-15, Thursday-Sunday, 8pm/Thursday-Saturday, 4pm/Sunday, “And the Winner is…” Mitch Albom’s And the Winner Is is a quirky, heartfelt, and slightly wicked tale of life, death, and sacrifice that has been hailed for its wit, originality, and hilarious portrayal of Hollywood values. Tyler Jones is a self-obsessed movie star who is finally nominated for an Oscar. He dies the night before the ceremony. He awakens in a way station/saloon/subway in the company of Seamus, an otherworldly Irish barkeep with an aversion to swearing. Determined to know if he wins, he bargains with the heavenly gatekeeper to return to earth for the big night. Since no star can appear without an entourage, Johnes is soon surrounded by his agent, his acting rival, his bombshell girlfriend, and his ex-wife. A wildly twisting tale of Hollywood, the afterlife, and how we are judged. Click!
