The Phoenix Theatre Company will stage "Fully Committed," a hilarious one-person show by Becky Mode that takes audiences behind the scenes of a trendy high-end New York City restaurant.

Running from Wednesday, July 10 through Sunday, Aug. 11, the production features a unique twist: two actors sharing the lead role of Sam, providing audiences with a double helping of comedy.

"Fully Committed" follows a day in the life of Sam, the beleaguered reservations manager who navigates a whirlwind of frantic phone calls, eccentric customers, and an over-the-top chef, a theater press release explains. Sam, overworked and underpaid, manages to navigate a whirlwind of conversations from socialites, celebrities, and desperate diners, all while wrestling with the personal dilemma of whether to visit family for the holidays or continue struggling as a working actor.

“Scenic Designer Douglas Clark has given us a wonderful playground for comedy,” Chelsea Anderson, Phoenix Theatre Company casting director and "Fully Committed,” stated. “In rehearsal, we have discovered inventive opportunities to use the literal location – a dingy basement beneath a high-end restaurant – as the various environments these dozens of characters inhabit.”

The dual casting features Alison Campbell and Wesley Bradstreet, both of whom bring their own approach to the role while each playing 40 different characters during this 80-minute play. Audiences will have the opportunity to see different performances on alternating nights.

Tickets for "Fully Committed" start at $55 and are available by calling 602-254-2151 or by visiting www.phoenixtheatre.com.
