Based on a true story, 'The Bachelors' introduces us to Bob Neal, a London interior decorator who returns to his failing Wisconsin hometown of Mineral Point in 1934 and hires a local man, Edgar Hellum, to help him restore a historic rock cottage. It is a humorous and touching look at a life two men spend together. Their restoration anchors what has become a thriving artistic community in Mineral Point, WI today.
'The Bachelors' was a semifinalist in Pride Films and Plays' Great Gay Screenplay Competition. It features Nelson Rodriguez and Nicholas Stockwell as Bob Neal and Edgar Hellum. Others in the cast include Sam Button-Harrison, David Beskey, Joan McGrath, Jamie Smith, Beth Richards, and Tom Chiola. Charles Berglund directs based on David Zak's original staging.
Proceeds will sponsor a second reading produced by the Alley Stage on Sunday June 2nd at 2pm at the beautiful Mineral Point Opera House. Tickets for the Mineral Point, WI performance will be available starting May 1 by calling 608-987-3292 or visiting www.shakeragalley.com/alley-stage.
