HIGH
DIVE
by
LESLIE AYVASIAN
directed
by Tish Miller
Leslie
Ayvasian’s audience-participation HIGH DIVE is a very funny play about taking
chances.
Teetering on the verge of fifty, acrophobic Leslie grips
the hand rails of the high diving board at a hotel swimming pool in Greece and
recalls and recounts a life-time of inadvertent adventure: jobs which turned out
to be . . . well, odd; a
spectacularly bizarre outing on a game show; romantic vacations from hell – the list
goes on.
The fun begins even
before the play does, when Leslie invites audience members to participate in
HIGH DIVE by reading lines from the script. Wow! Acting without even leaving your
seat.
Funny and fun!
What a terrific way to
spend an is-it-the-monsoons-yet evening.
HIGH
DIVE is a one-woman show with a very large cast.
Leslee
Richards is the one-woman.
The very
large cast includes Harry Zimmerman (with one n), Andrew Pollack, Diana Dorland
. . . and maybe YOU!
