Written by Dan

Boiler
Room is the story of Eddy
Kammegian, a charismatic entrepreneur who has molded his
employees at First National Copier Products into "an elite
assault force...a tele-sales S.W.A.T. team". As revenues
soar, First National is rocked by an internal scandal that
threatens to rip apart the very foundation of Eddy's
business, his faith, and his life. Boiler
Room is a raw, raunchy, and
intelligent look into success and greed, sin and salvation,
will power, and the responsibility that power
demands.

Excerpt from the
syndicated review in The LA
Tribune (Coastal Community
Newspapers)
"Strong...Powerful...Sexy.
Each of the
seven cast members is a star in this production. Fante has
given them a tour de
force for ensemble acting and
they have risen to the challenge!"
"The dialogue is pure
bravura fine tuned by Fante's
trained ear for wit and sarcasm...seamlessly woven together
by Adams' deft stitchery."
"...the world of 1980's-style greed and 1990's-style moral
morass...the requiem for those who have made fatal choices
and carried false values. A rousing
success for all concerned!"
Dan Fante was
nominated for the Theatre LA Ovation Award in the Writing
Of A World Premiere Category for his BOILER ROOM
script.
