Zero Hour, Currently playing at Stage Door Theatre, portrays the little known life of famous Broadway stage and screen actor, Zero Mostel. Delivered to the audience by Jim Brochu, who grew up watching and interacting Mostel, professionally makes this show extremely moving and informative.
Set in Mostel’s art studio, audiences are given the extreme honor to witness an interview between the famed actor and a newspaper reporter, who is set to learn about Zero’s life and how he became who he was. Taking him and the audience back in time, we learn about how his parents immigrated to America, how they abandoned him, his first act on stage, and many other important times in history and how he was involved.
Through dramatic stories and comedic one-liners, people who only knew Zero as Tevye and Max Bialistock and other great roles, got a unique chance to learn about the struggles and trials that he had to go through to become who many Broadway lovers know him as. While audiences of his performances saw him as a fully devoted actor, Zero considered himself a painter, who acted on the side.
With a beautiful set design by the Stage Door Scene Shop, Ingenious Lighting designed by Ardean Landhuis and overall direction by Academy Award Nominee Piper Laurie, Zero Hour brings the seriousness aspect of an otherwise comedic lifestyle to view.
Zero Hour is playing at the Stage Door Theatre until July 27th. If you don't get a chance to see it there, make sure you catch it on Broadway starting in September. For more information, contact Stage Door Theatre at 954-344-7765 or online at www.stagedoortheatre.com
