The Pitch is back!
The Pitch is a wildly entertaining story of a single father, who desperate for money, takes a job in a low-level sales office. Described as “‘Glen Garry Glen Ross’ for a new generation,” The Pitch pokes fun at today’s economy and the compromises required to sell, sell, SELL! The colorful salesmen and Alper’s sense of humor amid the situation at the office will leave audiences constantly surprised, and the payoff at the end is nothing short of priceless. The father/daughter subplot storyline is spot on of a rebellious teenager and a dad trying to hold it all together. The Pitch is based on a true story.

“THE PITCH” IS A SMASH!
“'The Pitch' is Mamet’s Glengarry, Glen Ross for a new generation. This play has humor, heart, and edge.”
-Amanda Callas, Discover Hollywood Magazine
“William Warren’s impossibly good timing, exhilarating villainy, and extravagant comedic sense are sublime. His performance is nothing short of genius. The IRS scene is a standout, one of the funniest, most thrilling scenes in the play ”
“Alper expertly plays a man in defeated mid life, whose life has been inexorably slipping away from him. ”
“Produced with a modicum of props and scenery, the renovated stage’s long stage-space and minimalist production values serve to rivet attention where it belongs: on the excellent work of the cast under the capable direction of veteran Louie Liberti.”
“The colorful characters and Alper’s sense of humor amid the situation at the office will leave audiences contantly surprised, and the pay-off at the end is nothing short of priceless.”
“The off-the-wall cast seem to be truly enjoying themselves creating Tom’s own special hell – and the audience is clearly being richly entertained – making this a not-to-be-missed production.”
“For a laugh a minute, THE PITCH scores a 10. Kudos to the skilled director and the in-tune ensemble cast: they make a great, funny, and very entertaining team.”
