Written
by Mr. Deal, Mr. Halpern and Ms. Wolff,
Loose Screws is the fictional
and risqué biographical journey of also-ran entertainer named Chelsea
Sutton Place. Through hilarious flashbacks, Chelsea shares her rise
from down' dirty Hell’s Kitchen dives, to X rated movie stardom, through
Studio 54- era debauchery and ultimately, the melt-down of a country
western singer (Miss Pixie Dickler) with multiple personality disorders---and her triumphant
rehab comeback!
Andrea
Wolff might be only
a diminutive 4’-11,” but she has had a soaring professional career which
began at 17 and never stopped until she received the role of a
lifetime—wife and mother. But now she’s back and ready to turn the
proverbial screw in Loose Screws. Her countless
credits include her performing on stage, television and in Las Vegas –
appearing in the renowned Bottoms Up Revue at
Caesars Palace.
Her theatre credits include a record-setting number of performances as
Ermengarde and Minnie Fay in Hello
Dolly! (Broadway and National Tours) where
she worked with Carol Channing, Ethel Merman, Dorthy Lamour, Betty Grable
and Phyllis Diller. Other credits include: The Imaginary Invalid
with E.G. Marshall and Ruby Dee and Grease, opposite
Andrea McArdle.
From appearing on the Ed Sullivan show with “Your Fathers Mustache Band”
to fronting several rock bands, Andrea has celebrated a
long and varied career and is primed for her starring role in
Loose Screws.
Director
and writer Dennis Deal most recent credits include: An Evening
with Scott Bakula, Women of a Certain Age and Dreaming of
Mister Porter. Audiences will remember his award-winning direction of
Nite Club Confidential, a stylish cabaret-style musical send-up
which had successful runs in New York, London, and Los Angeles.
