Starring in this theatrical comedy is PETER STORY. Peter has appeared in primetime shows on all three major networks–some of his favorite credits include CSI (directed by Quentin Tarantino), Without a Trace, Ugly Betty and recurring roles on Jay Leno’sThe Tonight Show and Rob Lowe’s The Lyon’s Den.

Peter’s story of how he and his wife won a dream wedding competition was just featured nationally on NPR’s The Moth Radio Hour, a show featuring the country’s best storytellers.
Commenting on the show, Peter said, “It’s a great recipe for a night out: a little storytelling blended with some comedy and a dash of sage wisdom from the book. A delicious evening of entertainment.”
When Mars and Venus collide, the adventures are earth-shatteringly hysterical.
