One Slight Hitch
A Play by Lewis Black
Directed by Jerry Pilato
When it comes to something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue, few brides expect the something old to be an uninvited ex-lover....It's Courtney's wedding day, and her mom, Delia, is making sure that everything is perfect. The groom is perfect, the dress is perfect, and the decorations (assuming they arrive) will be perfect. Then, like in any good farce the doorbell rings. And then all hell breaks loose. So much for perfect.
Featured in this hilarious farce are local talents Richard Rivera as Doc, Christine McCoy as Delia, Melanie Mino as Courtney, Deirdre Maloney as Melanie, Heather Armstrong as P.B., William Parker Shore as Harper and Christopher Szabo as Ryan.

Christopher Szabo (Ryan)
Chris is beyond thrilled to play the role of Ryan in One Slight Hitch. Chris has loved performing ever since he starred as Indian #5 in Peter Pan in the third grade. From there, he has had fun working on High School Musical baking creme brûlée, Romeo & Juliet as Peter, and recently as the badass Ash in Evil Dead the Musical. Chris also works on camera too doing local short films and web series, including Star Wars: The Dark Resurgence and STAGE. He dreams to be working on the stage singing and dancing and in front of the camera fighting villains as a full time actor. Chris thanks his always supportive and loving family, friends, and future wife whom he has yet to meet. |
William Parker Shore (Billy)
William is excited to make his Point Loma Playhouse debut. A theater graduate of Arizona State, William has been in several San Diego productions including Relatively Speaking and Dangerous Obsession at PowPAC, It's Just Sex at OnStage, Maple & Vine at Trinity, and recently Loves & Hours at Scripps Ranch. This is William's 7th time working with Jerry Pilato, and he is pleased to have been given this role with such an amazingly talented cast.
