Fully Committed starring Graham Ward plays September 8, 9, & 10
Creede Repertory Theatre (CRT) returns with the show Fully Committed by Becky Mode at the Adams State Theatre SLV Federal Bank Main Stage for three performances September 8, 9, and 10. All shows perform at 7 p.m.
One actor (CRT favorite Graham Ward) takes on 40 characters in this hilarious tour de force about Sam, a struggling actor juggling the chaos of answering the reservation line at one of New York City’s most exclusive restaurants. Over the course of a single chaotic day in the basement reservations office, Sam fields calls from demanding VIPs, entitled socialites, desperate diners, and eccentric celebrities—all while juggling pressure from the temperamental chef, personal drama, and artistic aspirations. Fully Committed was directed by CRT alumnus Matt Zambrano and stars Graham Ward, who has been a performer at CRT since 2012.
“Graham’s performance is a masterclass in storytelling—virtuosic, hilarious, and deeply human,” says Artistic Director Emily Van Fleet. “Watching him bring dozens of wildly distinct characters to life with such precision, heart, and seemingly boundless energy has been one of the great joys of our season, and we couldn’t be more excited to see his work reach a new audience.”
Of Fully Committed and Ward’s performance, OnStage Colorado’s Alex Miller writes, “The actor’s challenge is to pivot instantly from friendly Sam, answering the phone to help patrons, to any of these other characters — and make them all sound distinct. Ward meets that challenge with a colorful palette of personalities, voices, mannerisms and levels of haughtiness. It’s a lot of fun to watch, and with plenty of performances already under his belt, Ward is damn near perfect…”
Tickets are $35 plus some minimal fees per ticket. Adams State offers limited complimentary tickets for university students with a valid student ID. Visit Adams State Theatre for tickets are or visit the Adams State Theatre Box Office beginning August 31. Fully Committed contains strong language and is recommended for ages 16 and up.
