Dan Moore joins CATHOLIC OLYMPICS cast

June 10, 2016

Hollywood, CA – Never one to fear for his immortal soul, Dan E. Moore has joined the cast of THE CATHOLIC OLYMPICS, a world premier radio play opening at the Complex OMR Theatre on June 14.

“I’m pleased and honored to be working with Robert again,” Moore said of director Robert O’Meara. “And I love Kealy Dewitt’s writing.”

Moore teamed up with O’Meara for DeWitt’s West Coast premier of BYE-BYE at the 2015 Fringe Festival.

Moore joined the cast when another actor suffered a serious injury and had to withdraw. “These things happen,” O’Meara said. “I just feel fortunate to have Dan stepping in. He’s solid and steady and is ready to bring his characters to humorous light.”

Dan is a regular on Los Angeles stages and also tours nationally and internationally as a country-folk singer.

Tickets to the THE CATHOLIC OLYMPICS are $12 and can be purchased on the Fringe site or at the door (door tickets are sold on a cash-only basis). Performances are slated for June 14 at 8:30, June

With a top-notch line up of industry talent assembled for this one-of-kind production, director Robert O’Meara of Mark Your Calendar Productions, along with executive producer John Wilson, plan a new twist to a beloved format.
