WORLDPREMIERE: GOINGDOWN: TO STARBROOKEPROCIDA and AUSTINRAPP
Veteran actress/writer/producer Brooke Procida (Sopranos, Family Matters) makes a triumphant return to the west coast in a new original one-act play starring opposite newcomer, Austin Rapp.
LOSANGELES, CALIFORNIA September 2019 – In 1996, Brooke Procida was portraying high-school student Donna Santangelo on ABC/Warner Brothers long running hit comedy, Family Matters, with Jaleel White and Reginald Vel Johnson. Struck by severe, un-diagnosable illness, Brooke was forced to leave the show and Hollywood in order to heal what was much later discovered to be long term, chronic Lyme disease. After fully curing and overcoming a disease that most struggle to even get diagnosed, Brooke boldly returns to Hollywood in this gripping new one act play to be mounted at the iconic Whitmore-Lindley theatre complex in North Hollywood.
Going Down takes place entirely in the freight elevator of an uptown, Manhattan high-rise build
