MASTERMIND IS ABOUT TO UNLEASH HIS FIENDISH PLOT

Mastermind is tomorrow, April 18 at 8PM. Details if you click the logo.

I want you to come. I want you to bring your friends. I want you to bring your enemies.

It's been a peculiar three weeks as I've gone from thinking "there's no way I can put on a play from scratch in three weeks" to putting on a play from scratch in three weeks. And I owe the three faces below immensely for joining me in this mad endeavor. I'm also grateful to Hollie Overton for hooking me up these guys.

Meet the cast of the premiere of Mastermind.
