The Other Space at Santa Monica Playhouse (Santa Monica, CA)
As a writer on M*A*S*H, The Bob Newhart Show and Mary Tyler Moore, Jerry Mayer tickled America’s funny bone again and again. Now Mayer’s back at it with Almost Perfect, his riotous stage comedy. Nearly 30 years after it went to New York and earned the plaudits from The New York Times, Almost Perfect returns to the Santa Monica Playhouse, the stage where it first premiered. Protagonist Buddy Apple has lost some of his shine: His father is overbearing, his wife’s a bore and his dreams of writing in Hollywood grow fainter by the day. But then Apple meets his “dream girl” and glimpses a way out of his boring life … or does he? Chris DeCarlo directs this story about “a making of a mensch” for the Playhouse’s Jerry Mayer-a-thon.
