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.
