Oscar nominee Danny Aiello will star in the world premiere of Susan Charlotte's The Shoemaker, to be presented Off-Broadway by Cause Celebrè at Theater Row's Acorn Theater, July 14-August 14, with an opening on July 24. Antony Marsellis will direct.
Set in New York's Hell's Kitchen, the drama focuses on a shoemaker, an Italian Jew, on a devastating day that has become a turning point in American history. As each hour passes he confronts yet another part of his past, present and an uncertain future.
