The Pitch

The Pitch is a riveting and unexpectedly funny new play about a widowed father who takes a desperate job in a boiler room-style sales office to support his daughter, only to discover the greatest con of all may be the one he’s pulling on himself. Described as “Glengarry Glen Ross for a new generation” by Broadway World, The Pitch offers a biting and heartfelt meditation on what it means to sell your soul.

Set in 2006, and based on playwright Tom Alper’s own life experiences, The Pitch unfolds like a thriller laced with comedy, following a man at the breaking point: raising a rebellious teenage daughter while trapped in a cutthroat office full of manipulative salesmen, where success means lying better than the guy next to you. In a hilarious poke at today’s economy and the compromises sometimes required, The Pitch examines the ethical dilemmas posed by sales while introducing the audience to what may be the funniest crowd of salesmen in town.

The Pitch features comedy legend Phil Hendrie, who brings his unmatched wit and chameleonic voice work to the role of Mel, alongside Alper, Kevin Bartini, Connor Killeen, Joey Russo (The Irishman, Jersey Boys, The Offer), Mario Corry (Tulsa King & The Irishman), Joe Lorenzo (Barry & Diarra From Detroit), Sammi O’Connor, Grant Hall (Grown-ish), and Julie Tran.
