The book, Postman Delivers! is about the life and loves of an ordinary guy, in a small town, who enters a contest to write a summer play - and wins! This changes everything in his life. Putting on the play takes a large part of the story. About the Author, Reg Gilmore I volunteered at Drury Lane for ten years, 1995 to 2005. I think I worked on about 30 shows painting sets and designing a few as well. That's where I met Louise - wow, 30 years ago. We worked on painting together and produced My Fair Lady in 2002. Louise and I have been writing for many years, and have self published short stories and poetry on Amazon.com. Postman Delivers is my first novel. Thanks for taking an interest. Reg

Nice Work If You Can Get It ... is a new take on the 1920s musical farce featuring the iconic music of George and Ira Gershwin. The show has won multiple Tony Awards and Drama Desk Awards. Billie Bendix, a tough-as-nails bootlegger, and wealthy playboy Jimmy Winter, meet on the weekend of his impending wedding. Needing somewhere to stash 400 bottles of gin, Billie swipes Jimmy’s wallet and hides her stash in his empty Long Island beach house. However, when the wedding party arrives at the beach house, the bootleggers must juggle the guests and their business. Nice Work If You Can Get It is a definite crowd-pleaser that will have audiences singing along in the aisles. Dig out your flapper dresses, headbands and Gatsby shoes and join the Cast in this Roaring 20’s ‘Girls, Glamour, Gershwin’ musical. “Who Could Ask For Anything More?”
