In a world where knowledge is prized above all, how much should a simple piece of paper matter?
Don't miss this World Premiere from TV writer T.J. Brady ("Narcos," "Army Wives," "Lie To Me").
"
Two Dollar Bill unfolds the story of Bill Dudley (Mark Zimmerman), a longtime professor of military history whose lack of an undergraduate degree is discovered after his latest book is nominated for a prestigious prize. The scandal also raises questions about the integrity of his younger wife, Jessica McGovern (Lesley Fera), the university's dean of faculty.
The story's other characters are Ron Ellis (Corey Allen), Dudley's graduate assistant, and Megan Tyler (Ephie Aardema), an entitled student who challenges her grade."
Runs from Friday, Jan. 15 through Saturday Jan. 30, 2016!
(The Box Office is open Mon.-Fri., 10-6 p.m. and Saturdays, during the run of show.)

SYNOPSIS & CONTENT ADVISORY

|
SYNOPSIS:
This world premiere is set at an elite American university, where a distinguished professor of history has just been nominated for a prestigious award. But the attention over that nomination has cast a confusing light on his academic credentials, with career-changing consequences for the professor, his wife, his graduate assistant and the students he teaches. A riveting examination of personal and professional ethics, as well as of the proper mission of higher education in America, Two Dollar Bill has the kind of ripped-from-the headlines timeliness that is sure to inspire social media discussions and dinner table debates among the audiences who see it.
RUNNING TIME: One hours and fifty minutes, which includes a 15-minute intermission.
