EVENT: Dover Players’ Presents an Original Award Winning Comedy, Jake’s Dilemma

Dover Players first production of 2019 is an original award winning (OCTA award for script writing) comedy, Jake’s Dilemma, written and directed by Gregory J. Lavelle.

Synopsis: Jake is a crusty, crazy, cheap, impecunious, paranoid, retired school teacher from Cleveland, Ohio

who runs a diner in the middle of nowhere in Arizona.  Jake is convinced that a stranded couple, Mary and

Joseph, from Voorheesville, New York, are actually extra-terrestrials.  Jake holds the couple captive. 

Joseph, to humor Jake, “confesses” to being an alien, while Mary goes bonkers trying to convince Jake that

Joseph was just saying things Jake wanted to hear.
