Placed appropriately on the windowless windshield is an orange parking ticket. Hellcab is 70 minutes of vignettes based on real life events. The play is a study about modern city life and the people we meet for a brief moment but who touch us long afterwards. Six actors play approximately 25 roles, while the seventh actor, the cabbie, is the guiding character for the audience. Each vignette is brief, lasting as long as some real life cab rides.</span></i><em><span style="FONT-STYLE:normal;FONT-SIZE:10pt"></span></em></font></p>
