IAMA PRESENTS THE LA PREMIERE OF BESS WOHL'S AMERICAN HERO

A darkly comic celebration of the power of teamwork and unity to overcome adversity. At a toasted subs franchise in the local mall, three up-and-coming “sandwich artists” — a young woman, a single mom and a downsized refugee from corporate banking — are perfecting the mustard-to-cheese ratio according to the company manual. But when their shot at the American dream is interrupted by a series of strange events, they must become unlikely allies in a post-recession world.

Opening Sept. 21 in a Pasadena Playhouse guest production at the Carrie Hamilton Theatre. Performances will continue through Oct. 21
