The cast is rounded out by John Sullivan ’25, Colin Nicassio ’26, Byron Rivey ’26, and Luke Cockerham ’26 playing poker buddies Murray, Vinnie, Speed, and Roy respectively. Tori Wright ’24 and Nicole M. Samella ’26 play the two British Pigeon sisters, Gwendolyn and Cecily.

The play is directed by long-time VMI Theatre director Joellen Bland, assisted by Linda Gorman, stage manager Andrew Hartless, and assistant stage manager Heather M. Crum ’23.

Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students and senior citizens ages 65 and over, payable by cash or check at the door. Cadets and children ages 6 and under are free. Reservations are not required. Gillis Theater is located in Marshall Hall on VMI post.
