Todd Fleck returns to the Lab boards in ’55 and Over’
Opening for a limited, 3-performance run on May 26 at Lab Theater is a new play (which is actually still under development) by Zalman Velvel by the name of 55 and Over. It shines a stark light on severely burdened seniors, that is retired folks living exclusively on Social Security who shell out more than half of their income for rent. 55 and Over revolves around a 75-year-old by the name of Moe who’s been evicted from his apartment because he opted for groceries and his expensive heart medication in lieu of paying his rent. That’s when Moe’s grandson shows up with his pregnant 17-year-old girlfriend Ariella for a 
visit!
Todd Fleck returns to the Lab boards for 55 and Over.

He has previously played Brick in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Marty Pascal in The House of Yes and Larry in Relatively Speaking.
