Theater 139: A Skylight In Queens
Synopsis:
In the chilly streets of New York, a disillusioned young man is troubled by his recent work as a death doula, prompting him to ponder life's deeper questions. One night, he encounters Chloe, who appears to be on the brink of personal turmoil. Observing her spiral into alcoholism, Ben intervenes and brings her to his apartment. What starts as a promising evening of connection soon unravels into a soul-searching exploration of their own vulnerabilities. As they navigate their existential crises, questions arise: can they confront their isolation and find solace, or will they succumb further to their inner chaos?

Cast:
Michael Fletcher
Michael Harvey Fletcher loves to perform whether it be on the stage or on the screen. No part is too large or too small for although he has played heavy hitters like Hamlet and Caligula, he's also played more quirky character bit parts than you can count!
