IN DEVELOPMENT: Discount Dave and the Fix

Studio 180 Theatre kicks off their 2023/24 season with a launch party and IN DEVELOPMENT reading of Discount Dave and the Fix for one night only on Thursday, October 12, 2023 at Factory Theatre’s Studio Theatre. Seen on stages across the country, award-winning actor Rebecca Auerbach brings her powerful storytelling skills to this deeply personal solo show in her first play, directed by Aviva Armour-Ostroff. Discount Dave and the Fix examines our obsession with celebrity, how addiction can bury our wounds, and what it takes to heal.

About the play

When a rockstar crashes a backstage party at a Shakespeare Festival, a thrill-seeking young actor is set on a path of self-reckoning. A provocative blend of truth and fiction, Discount Dave and The Fix is a suspenseful, hilarious and harrowing examination of our obsession with celebrity, how addiction can bury our wounds, and what it takes to heal.
