It is a production of the Playhouse West Repertory Theater group and was written by Tony Savant and directed by Robert Carnegie.^[3] Other notable actors who have performed in this production include James Franco, Ashley Judd, Mark Pellegrino, Jim Parrack, and Holly Gagnier, to name just a few of the actors who have been cast in this ongoing play. The acting school Playhouse West was founded by Jeff Goldblum and Robert Carnegie in 1981.
