In Show People, Jerry Pressman and Marnie Monk are Broadway actors who haven't worked in years. At Jerry's insistence, they take on a wildly unorthodox job for a rich, young New York banker Burrell.
Show People directed by Peter Askin who helmed Wietz's Privilege at Second Stage last season, is scheduled to officially open on April 6.
