‘Rise Up, O Men’ play dates, times and ticket info
Play: Rise Up, O Men
Playwright: Greta Grosh, Dennis Curley
Synopsis: This is the sixth in the Church Basement Ladies series. In this episode, attention shifts to guys, who have a plethora of their own problems to resolve. There’s Karin’s husband, Elroy, a farmer by the name of Carl, a revered World War II vet named Arlo and, of course, the pastor, E.L. Gunderson. As they discuss piles of scrap lumber, the benefits of weld versus solder, looming retirement, rival Protestant denominations and Pastor Gunderson’s really bad jokes, the menfolk unwittingly disrupt the ladies, who are hurrying to complete preparations for the church’s 1964 centennial celebration. It’s a recipe for hilarity that Broadway Palm serves up with relish and a side of panache.

He is in the final stages of completing his debut novel titled "Art Detective," a story that fictionalizes the discovery of the fabled billion-dollar Impressionist collection of Parisian art dealer Josse Bernheim-Jeune, thought by many to have perished during World War II when the collection's hiding place, Castle de Rastignac in southern France, was destroyed by the Wehrmacht in reprisal for attacks made by members of the Resistance operating in the area. A former tax attorney, Tom holds a bachelor's degree as well as both a juris doctorate and masters of laws in taxation from the University of Florida.
