Shoestring Players

A Small Affair—Gas Station

Perennial big-cast Shoestring (Quilters, Fringe 2013, **** Free Press) brings you rollicking visual and verbal comedy when a rag-tag assortment of actors rehearse for a TV drama, and everything that could go wrong, does.

Throw in the topical context of budget cuts at the TV station, and some tender moments, as the characters respond to their common plight, and you have as good value for theatre money to be found anywhere. We’re talking only $10 for 60 minutes of laughter.
