Theater 80: PART THREE-PENNY SLOTS
Synopsis
The Three Penny Slots Ladies have arrived from Rome, mishap-free, in Miami from their first class all-expense paid Good Morning America Italian Riviera Cruise. After clearing customs, we catch up with them boarding a private plane for their last leg to Vero Beach Regional Airport. Can these sassy three senior citizens survive the one-hour and eight-minute flight without chaos? Maybe or maybe not. Let’s see.........
Writer/Director/Actor
Kim Hlavac (Playwright/Director) is an actor from New York who graduated from the infamous High School of Performing Arts, from which the movie FAME was created. Kim received her BFA in theatre arts and film from SUNY/Purchase under the tutelage of George Morrison. Other influential acting mentors include Uta Hagen and Wynn Handman.

She is so excited to debut her first script and directing skills on Bernadette’s amazing Open-Door Playhouse podcast, with talented actors she met over Station House and VS Theaters’ Zoom readings.

Goreti da Silva (As Helen)
Since moving to Los Angeles from Canada, Goreti da Silva has worked in many films, tv programs, theatre, and improv shows. Most recently, you may have seen her on Big Little Lies, a Toyota commercial, or heard her voice in one of many radio plays on Opendoorplayhouse.org.
Goreti was awarded The Michael Grossman Most Inspirational Award for her body of theatre work in the Desert; and she won the Valley Theatre Award for her work in “Park Plays: Portland”.
When not performing, Goreti fills her "well" by teaching Improv, Theatre Arts, Playwriting, and Acting to underserved youth who write plays in which they later perform. Though Goreti has produced and directed dozens of plays, she continues to be surprised, delighted and inspired by our next generation of leaders.
