The play proceeds to spiral its trio of colorful characters, two poker buddies and a young apprentice, into one of the most pressure packed Friday nights in theater history.

The would-be criminal cast is being portrayed by some faces familiar to island audiences, as well as one newcomer.

Chris Soldevilla, renowned acting coach and regular cast member of BPA’s improv group The Edge, is playing Teach and Ted Dowling, BPA regular and frontman of last year’s acclaimed production of “The Kentucky Cycle,” is Don.

Playing the part of Bobby is Jonathan Shue, a recent University of Washington M.F.A. graduate.

The play is directed by Tom Challinor.
