“A riot. Matt Chiorini is either a brilliant actor or a villager on the Island of Multiple Personalities. One man, many characters, loads of charm…In "Fully Committed" he performs every character in rapid-fire succession. We're not talking three or four or even five roles in 60 minutes. It's more like 40, each with his or her unique mannerisms, accents and personalities. For propriety's sake, let's assume he's a brilliant actor. Chiorini effortlessly conjured an entire community full of people, places and everyday things. He did such a good job defining each personality that it was easy to forget only one guy was on the stage.”
- Kathy L. Greenberg, Tampa Tribune

American Stage Theatre Company continues its “After Hours” series with Becky Mode’s comedic holiday alternative, Fully Committed, running Dec. 2 thru Dec. 20. Ticket prices to all performances are “Pay-What-You-Can”.

Fully Committed is a devastatingly funny one-act comedy that follows a day in the life of Sam Peliczowski, an out-of-work actor who mans the red-hot reservation line at Manhattan's number-one restaurant during the holidays. Coercion, threats, bribes, histrionics—a cast of desperate callers will stop at nothing in their zeal to land a prime reservation, or the right table. Amid the barrage, Sam's got his own needs to contend with—his recently widowed dad wants him home for Christmas, and he's up for a choice part at Lincoln Center. While juggling scheming socialites, name-dropping wannabes, fickle celebrities, egomaniacal bosses and the responsibilities of the season, can he manage to look out for himself? A wonderful acting challenge, Fully Committed has forty wildly diverse characters...all played by Matt Chiorini!

“After as well received as David Sedaris’ The Santaland Diaries was last winter, we are excited to produce the Tampa Bay area premiere of Fully Committed as the perfect holiday alternative,” said Todd Olson, American Stage’s producing artistic director. “And, as our gift to our patrons, every performance is Pay-What-You-Can.”
