One man, 17 characters and a car chase.

Big-city radio personality Charlie King just lost his job hosting a hit morning show. When he’s forced to take a job managing a small-town station, he quickly finds himself chasing a story of municipal corruption and greed. Chase the Ace is a hilarious one-man comedy about a down-on-his-luck DJ, a local lottery, and the search for truth in unprecedented times.

Mark Crawford is one of Canada’s most hilarious playwrights. We are thrilled to bring his one man comedy thriller to the stage this summer – Laura Vingoe-Cram
