On Wednesday, August 3, Theatre Exile premiered their newest production, “Tommy & Me,” at FringeArts. Directed by Joe Canuso, the autobiographical play by Ray Didinger recounts his experience of helping his hero, Tommy McDonald, make it to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. From 1957 to 1964, McDonald was a wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles and played a big part in the team making it to the NFL 1960 Championship game.
The two- week run of the show is already sold out. In the meantime, check out photos from opening night by HughE Dillon.
