*About the Show:*

Jerry, a down-and-out steelworker grappling with unemployment and a
dwindling bank account, is desperate to regain his footing. With mounting
child support payments looming and chance of losing visitation with his
son, Nathan, he concocts an audacious plan to make some quick cash. He,
with his hesitant best friend, Dave,  assemble a ragtag group of unlikely
candidates — each with their own burdens and dreams — after witnessing the
electrifying excitement of their wives at a touring Chippendales show.


As this motley crew prepares for a show of their own, each member faces
their own demons, tackling feelings of isolation, insecurities, and
unfulfilled aspirations. Through heartwarming and often humorous
encounters, they discover an unexpected camaraderie and sense of belonging
as they bond over their shared mission. However, the question lingers: will
they muster the courage to go THE FULL MONTY and reveal their true selves
on stage?


*Roles Available:*

11 Men (character ages 21 - 65)

8 Women (character ages 21 - 80)

1 Younger Man (character age 12 - 14)
