Pizza delivery gone hilariously awry: LHU’s Pizza Man

A simple pizza delivery is the start of unanticipated complications.

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. - The Lock Haven University Players continue their season of women behaving badly with Darlene Craviotto’s hysterical comedy Pizza Man.

It’s a hot summer evening and Julie Rodgers (Amelia Lang-Wallace) has had a bad day. Her boss fired her after she rejected his advances. Now, she’s broke, disillusioned, and drinking heavily to forget the day. Into this walks her roommate Alice (Olivia Mendez), who has also had a rough day. Her boyfriend has gone back to his wife, and Alice has turned to food to forget. Julie suggests another way to vent their frustrations: they should pick guy, any guy, and have their way with him. Men have been doing it for years, why can’t a woman try it? Enter a pizza delivery man (James Vesey) who agrees to come in and share a beer with them. The evening gets crazier, wilder, angrier, and very, very funny.

Directed by Katrina Bartoli, Pizza Man runs on November 10, 11, 12, and 13 at 7:30pm. Please note: Pizza Man is intended for mature audiences. The production takes place in the Countdown Theatre located in the Sloan Fine Arts Center. Doors will open half an hour prior to curtain. Admission is free, but tickets are required. Obtain your tickets by phone (570-484-3983) or e-mail (boxoffice@lhup.edu). Patrons are encouraged to take advantage of this system and reserve seats in advance.
