I'm
Not
Rappaport
by Herb Gardner
Directed by: Christopher Bremer
Ran October 13-November 14, 2004 Laugh out loud as this dynamic duo takes on society and battles the
perceptions of whom and what our octogenarians should be. In this Tony
Award winning play we meet Nat and Midge, the feisty heroes battling
yuppies, street thugs, drug dealers and ultimately time. In their quest
for dignity and self worth, they teach us the value of an unconquerable
spirit and ultimately the joy of living.
Set in a secluded spot in New York’s Central Park, two octogenarians are
committed to fight off all attempts to put them out to pasture. Nat is a
lifelong radical determined to fight injustice (real or imagined.) He is
also something of a spinner of fantasies based largely on his delightful
repertoire of eccentric personas. The other half of this unlikely
partnership is Midge, a black apartment super who spends his days in the
park hiding out from tenants who want him to retire.
Starring Arthur Beer and Council Cargle, long time Detroit natives and
celebrated actors, both are former recipients of the Lee Hills award for
Prestigious Career Service from the Detroit Free Press. Arthur Beer has
been seen often at JET and most recently as Lazar Wolf in Fiddler on the
Roof, while Council Cargle, who has performed frequently at most
professional theatres in Detroit, makes his JET debut.
