Written by J David Moeller (Playing Frank Coin)

“Scenes From the Big Picture”, currently at the Storefront Theater through October 5th, features something for everyone; or, as the youth of yesteryear used to say: “Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll!”

It also features Sean Bolger as a hit man. Sean “Spilo Johnston” is mentor to Rat Joyce (Shane Kenyon -DCA blog“No Small Parts”, September 15th).

Seems Robbie (played by Chris Hainsworth) has angered his mob bosses and they want to teach him a lesson; the Irish way. Enter Spilo and Rat (Kenyon), just as he and his moll Connie (Lee Stark) are about to “do a runner”: get out of Dodge.

Connie exacts a little familial payback she’s had in mind after she is told to take her belongings and get out of town and never come, or look, back.

The hitmen explain the facts of life to Robbie and complete their assigned tasks with aplomb. Being the kind mentor he is Spilo allows Rat his first hands-on experience of his career.

Sean comes directly to “Scenes…” from the School at Steppenwolf’s summer intensive and has appeared with the Griffin, the Steep, and Redmoon Theaters, and Uma Productions. He’s an artistic associate at The Side Project.

“Scenes…” is filled with “couples” in life’s varying situations,  some of whom we’ll visit in coming editions.
