Segment ONE
The Full Monty – the REP’s Summer Treat
Maggie Mancinelli Cahill, Artistic Director; Lyn Philistine “Vicki Nichols”; Christopher Sutton “Jerry Lukowski”
Put the sizzle in your summer with the raucous pop-rock-musical that peels away stereotypes and reveals all!
The full Monty. It implies nudity, full frontal male nudity. And you’ll get a glimpse of that in the comic musical The Full Monty, but the show is about more than that. It’s about a group of men baring their souls, admitting fragility and finding strength through the desperate, delightful act of striptease.
While spying on their wives at a “Girls’ Night Out” trip to a male strip club, a group of unemployed Buffalo steelworkers come up with a bold way to make some quick cash. As they conquer their fears, self-consciousness and prejudices, the men come to discover that the strength that they find in each other just might give them the individual courage to “let it go.” Based on the cult film of the same name, this ten-time Tony Award® nominee is filled with heart and will keep you wondering (and hoping) right up to the end if these lovable misfits will really pull it off – and go THE FULL MONTY!

Apollo: A Decade of Achievement
Joe Sweeney, Publisher
The race for space begins on October 4, 1957 as the Soviet Union stuns the world and launches the first man made satellite – a feat until then only read about in science fiction. America is caught unprepared for 1957 and must answer this embarrassment to the world by proving its superiority; however, each time America tries to launch a satellite – let alone test a new rocket – it fails.
- Organization: JS Blume Publishing
- Book: Apollo: A Decade of Achievement by Paul Casey
- Mission: Our mission is to provide part-time writers with resources and opportunities that will help them master their craft and become published.
