Sam & Dede, or My Dinner with Andre the Giant

Directed by Steven Carpenter and starring Alan Wade and Scott McCormick

Postponed from last season, an eye-opening account of two very unexpected friends and their influence on each other through the decades. Their unlikely friendship began when an aspiring writer, an Irish expatriate in France, gave a young man (whose remarkable size made him the object of derision) rides to school each day, discussing playwriting, pro wrestling, and where their lives would lead them. A belated Area Premiere.
