The year is almost over, but I can't forget one of my favorite stage plays. No Place to be Somebody (Charles Gordone) turns 50 in 2019.
It centers around Gabe, whose talent won't avail him the most accessible of acting roles. Johnny, his alter ego, is a former street hustler whose associates only hinder him from organized crime. They fraternize at Johnny's bar, all of whose patrons reflect that their best isn't good enough. Directed by John Grabowski, the Chelsea Repertory Company performed Gordone's prize-winning play five years ago. I've watched it multiple times over the year. They did a great job.
