Directed by Susan Campanaro, Bobby Spillane's comedy will officially open May 7. The limited engagement, which is being presented by Colin Quinn and Working Stiffs Productions, will play through June 11.
All Dolled Up is set in the sixties and is based on the life of a cross-dressing gangster. The comedy, according to press notes, concerns the life of "Salvatore, a wiseguy from Bensonhurst who is trying to keep his newly discovered dressing fetish a secret from his associates. When his secret is out, the Italian Mafia and Greenwich Village’s Gay Community come together in a hilarious scheme to keep 'Sally' alive."
In addition to O'Donohue, the play features Michael Basile as Sally with Tomm Bauer, Jennifer Blood, Jamie Bonelli, Matt Gallagher, Rocco Parente, Christo Parenti and Alyssa Truppelli. The creative team also includes Kenny McDonough and Chris Wiggins (scenic design), Tim Stephenson and Dana Giangrande (lighting design), Alex Jost (music and sound design) and Billy Delace (videography).
