*CHAPATTI*

*An Irish Love Story*

*At Actors’ Summit*



Actors’ Summit, Akron’s professional theater, announces the Regional
Premiere of *CHAPATTI *by Christian O’Reilly.  This funny and touching love
story is set in Dublin.



The show will have a preview performance on February 25 with the official
opening on Friday night, February 26.  *CHAPATTI* is currently scheduled
for a 12 performance run, closing on March 13.  Performances are given
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights at 8:00 P.M. and Sundays at 2 PM, and
take place at Greystone Hall, in downtown Akron.  A free dessert reception
with the cast follows the opening night performance on Friday, February 26.



*The Play *

Romance is a distant memory for two lonely animal lovers living in Dublin.
When Dan and his dog Chapatti cross paths with Betty and her nineteen cats,
an unexpected spark is struck.  Two older isolated people play out a warm
and gentle story about rediscovering the importance of human companionship.

The critically acclaimed play is written by Galway playwright Christian
O’Reilly and had its premiere performance at Northlight Theatre in Chicago.

The play is being directed by Brian Zoldessy.  This is his first directing
assignment at Actors’ Summit, but he has received critical acclaim for his
two title role performances in *Einstein *and *Freud’s Last Session*.

The role of Betty is performed by Anne McEvoy, who has performed with
Actors’ Summit in the past as well as at Great Lakes Theatre Festival,
Cleveland Public Theatre, Ensemble Theater, and Dobama among others.

The role of Dan is performed by Neil Thackaberry the founder of Actors’
Summit.
