THE REVIEWS ARE IN! “THE PITCH” IS A SMASH!
“'The Pitch' is Mamet’s Glengarry, Glen Ross for a new generation. This play has humor, heart, and edge.”
-Amanda Callas, Discover Hollywood Magazine
“William Warren’s impossibly good timing, exhilarating villainy, and extravagant comedic sense are sublime. His performance is nothing short of genius. The IRS scene is a standout, one of the funniest, most thrilling scenes in the play ”
“Alper expertly plays a man in defeated mid life, whose life has been inexorably slipping away from him. ”
“The colorful characters and Alper’s sense of humor amid the situation at the office will leave audiences contantly surprised, and the pay-off at the end is nothing short of priceless.”
“Produced with a modicum of props and scenery, the renovated stage’s long stage-space and minimalist production values serve to rivet attention where it belongs: on the excellent work of the cast under the capable direction of veteran Louie Liberti.”
“For a laugh a minute, THE PITCH scores a 10. Kudos to the skilled director and the in-tune ensemble cast: they make a great, funny, and very entertaining team.”
“The off-the-wall cast seem to be truly enjoying themselves creating Tom’s own special hell – and the audience is clearly being richly entertained – making this a not-to-be-missed production.”
About Tom

Upon being accepted at the University of Southern California (USC) Tom was informed, during orientation, that his scholarship was only good for 2 years. So Tom immediately went across town and accepted his admittance to the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). At that point Tom transitioned from journalism to creative writing, specifically short stories and plays. It was here that he discovered his true passion in life, acting.
For the past 25 years, Tom has acted in over 100 projects (plays, television and films.) Regardless of the medium, Tom's presence and passion permeates through every character he portrays.
