Justin Okin '03 will be performing in the West Coast Premiere of Samuel Hunter's Pocotello presented by the award-winning Rogue Machine Theatre Company, opening February 13. The cast includes Eden Brolin, Anne Gee Byrd, Matthew Elkins, and Tracie Lockwood. Eddie manages an Italian chain restaurant in Pocatello—a small, unexceptional American city that is slowly being paved over with strip malls and franchises. But he can't serve enough Soup, Salad & Breadstick Specials to make his hometown feel like home. Against the harsh backdrop of Hunter's Idaho, this heartbreaking comedy is a cry for connection in an increasingly lonely American landscape.
