Tickets Now on Sale for THE BEST MAN, by Gore Vidal
by Craig Joseph via NEohioPAL 08 Jul '16

08 Jul '16

Written and premiering on Broadway in 1960, Gore Vidal's Tony-nominated poitical satire is still witty and prophetic against the backdrop of the 2016 presidential election. THE BEST MAN pits William Russell against Joe Cantwell as they both vie for their party's nomination during a contested convention. The battle for delegates finds both men courting a countrified former president for his endorsement, managing crises with their respective wives, and fielding increasingly corrupt suggestions from their campaign managers. Skewering both the left and the right, offering biting critiques of how we "do" politics, and raising important questions about character and ethics, THE BEST MAN is sure to be more entertaining than tuning into the actual news. The production stars: Heidi Swinford, Stephanie Cargill, Margo Parker, Scott Miesse, Greg Emanuelson, Nick Bailey, Bob McCoy, Tom Stephan, Matthew Heppe, Joe Haladey, and Stephen Berg The production runs July 29th through August 7th, with shows on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 PM, and Sundays at 2 PM. For more information and to purchase tickets, see www.seatofthepants.eventbrite.com.
