Unlikely Heroes (https://www.facebook.com/unlikelyheroesplay/) has unwittingly reinvented the theatre experience and is attracting new audiences outside of the traditional groups of theatre-goers and performing arts patrons in South Florida. “Everyone is inspired to see this play, because we can all relate to the script and the characters in some way”, explained Charles Gluck, Writer & Producer of Unlikely Heroes. “Whether you are Jewish, Italian, Latin, Greek, Black, Irish, or whatever, you will relate to Unlikely Heroes. This is a play about real people who are not afraid to express themselves and let every emotion fly!”

The play is a rare production as the entire cast consists of an all-star group of actors including Margot Moreland (http://unlikelyheroesplay.com/portfolio/margot-moreland-m...), Michael H. Small (http://unlikelyheroesplay.com/portfolio/michael-h-small-leo/), Patti Gardner (http://unlikelyheroesplay.com/portfolio/patti-gardner-susan/), Kim Ostrenko (http://unlikelyheroesplay.com/portfolio/kim-ostrenko-gail/), and Robert Johnston (http://unlikelyheroesplay.com/portfolio/robert-johnston-bradley/). “Never before have the best of the best actors in South Florida ever been assembled into the same cast. This will be a once-in-a-lifetime production”, said Gluck.

Laughter, love, dark secrets, anger, sadness, joy, and hope are woven into the fabric of this captivating new dramedy about a dysfunctional family faced with seemingly insurmountable circumstances.
