From Robinson's site:

Why This Project...

We need new BOLD voices... As audience members, we want to see something refreshing. Many people live their entire lives never knowing who they truly are while pretending to be what society expects them to be. That was the soul purposes for creation of...

It's an extension of a way to reflect on everyday social perceptions and make sense fun of the society we live in.

“The Last Laugh”  is a thought provoking story that revolves around a somewhat sarcastic prick struggling to let go of certain social annoyances and expectations.

Making fun of the elephant in the room is where the humor and heart from the show originates. With brash comedic twists and honest observations, "The Last Laugh" is simply about embracing the “Jackass” in each and every one of us while also learning to accept the world the way it is.

In this special Table Read Edition of the Inside Acting Radio show, we present playwright Robert Epstein's stage play The Big A: Scenes from a Vanishing Landscape.

The play is about a family's struggles with aging, illness and the care of their elderly parents. 

The aging couple is played by Kirk Lambert as Alan, and Lois Bernstein as Janice.  They are a white couple with two grown black children from Janice's first marriage, played by Mack Leamon as Lou, and Ruben Bell as Jon.  Mary Claire Hess plays Amy, Lou's wife.

Though the play is about a serious subject that so many families have to deal with these days, it has both touching and very funny moments. 

There are dance scenes at the beginning and end of the play.  In the first dance scene, before the play begins, the aging Alan and Janice are dancing slowly and with difficulty. 

In the last scene, with fast swing music, Alan and Janice are restored to their younger selves, dancing with great ease.  This continues into the curtain call.

In between is the story of them and their family.

There are also fantasy scenes in which Janice and Alan are confronted by distorted versions of their health aides. These scenes really take place in their minds.

...and now sit back and enjoy, "The Big A"

Q - How did you get into acting?

A - It was almost 3 years ago, I laid down for a nap and when I woke up I had the clearest message from God/The Universe for me to start acting. I had never even been in a school play. I had gotten to a point in my life where I had no clue what I wanted to do with myself. I was jack of all trades master of none, nor was I passionate about any of them.

Q - You've got an exciting new SAG project you just got cast in. Tell me more!

A - Well, because of disclosure clauses I can't speak much about the project. I will be Sag eligible starting production.

Q - What's your favorite role you've done?

A - My favorite role...that's a hard one...especially being as though I'm the most indecisive person walking the planet. I guess I'd say I'm still waiting on that role. A character that captures my heart. Then I can make it capture yours.
