Synopsis: Comedy / Characters: 5m, 1f / In this world-premiere comedy, it's 1963 and Joey and Carmine are low-level soldiers in the New York mob. Joey services juke boxes and vending machines...Carmine makes two runs a week to South Carolina for illegal cigarettes. But things are looking up for the pair. The 1964 World's Fair is just around the corner and these Two Gentlemen of Corona are plotting to help their boss, John, swindle thousands of foreign tourists. It looks like nothing can stand in their way...oh, except for the fact that Joey is falling in love with his boss's mistress! This comedy is the perfect light-hearted fare: refreshing and funny, with just a touch of heart. "Geoghan gives a sweetly retro twist to Gentlemen, keeping his comic archetypes so anchored in reality that they elicit sympathy as well as laughter." -Los Angeles Times "A comedy with hysterical lines, historical intrigue, and a happy ending for the young lovers." -EyeSpy LA
