Scripps Ranch Theatre
Scripps Ranch Theatre kicks off Season 45 with “Fully Committed” by Becky Mode, directed by Ted Leib. The production runs Friday, September 6 through Sunday, September 29, 2024 on the campus of Alliant International University. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.
If you’re an out of work actor manning the reservation desk at Manhattan’s number one restaurant you have to deal with coercion, threats, bribes and histrionics as a cast of desperate would-be diners will stop at nothing to get the right table. One incredibly talented actor (San Diego’s Dennis Peters) plays forty wildly diverse characters. Hilarity abounds as good food inspires bad behavior.
Ted Leib, director of “Fully Committed” shared, “Fully Committed is a wonderfully unhinged one person show. Becky Mode’s seamless switching between the 40 diverse characters provides both an incredible vehicle for a talented actor embodying all of the roles – as well as a tightly fast-paced piece that I know will hold our audiences’ attention. This is my third time working with the multi-faceted Dennis Peters who takes on all of these hysterical characters. His talent, energy, creativity and willingness to play makes him a perfect fit for this piece. I can’t wait to share the laughter with our San Diego theatre community.”
?Dennis Peters is over the moon to be making his Scripps Ranch Theatre debut with “Fully Committed.” Select credits include Ichabod Crane in “Welcome to Sleepy Hollow,” Stevie in “Good People” (both with Oceanside Theatre Company), Agent Dollar in San Diego Musical Theatre’s “Catch Me If You Can,” and Zach in the world premier of “Eighty-Sixed” with Diversionary Theatre. Peters has also taught improv and acting at the La Jolla Playhouse and Project Performer in Encinitas.
