WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
A farcical gender-bending boulevard romp, She Stoops To Comedy is a new play written by, directed by, and starring David Greenspan. It is a play-within-a-play about an actress (Greenspan) who schemes to woo back her estranged lover (Marissa Copeland) by playing Orlando opposite her lover's Rosalind in a summer-stock production of As You Like It. Also in the cast are E. Katherine Kerr, T. Ryder Smith, and Philip Tabor.
