Dover Players first production of 2019 is an original award winning (OCTA award for script writing) comedy, Jake’s Dilemma, written and directed by Gregory J. Lavelle.
Synopsis: Jake is a crusty, crazy, cheap, impecunious, paranoid, retired school teacher from Cleveland, Ohio
who runs a diner in the middle of nowhere in Arizona. Jake is convinced that a stranded couple, Mary and
Joseph, from Voorheesville, New York, are actually extra-terrestrials. Jake holds the couple captive.
Joseph, to humor Jake, “confesses” to being an alien, while Mary goes bonkers trying to convince Jake that
Joseph was just saying things Jake wanted to hear.
