Set in theatre legend Zero Mostel’s
painting studio on West 28th Street, a naïve reporter attempts to

the famously volatile artist, prompting an explosion of memory, humor, outrage and juicy backstage lore. Mostel
is remembered for his comedic genius and his definitive roles, but in the 1950's he was equally known for his place
on the infamous Hollywood blacklist. Directed by three time Oscar nominee Piper Laurie (The Hustler, Carrie),
Jim Brochu's striking portrayal brings all of Mostel's swagger, ferocity, intelligence and fantastic wit back to the
stage in this mesmerizing and hilarious tour-de-force. Since its Ovation Award-winning debut in 2006 Zero Hour
has played to sold out houses all over the country and was named one of the ten best plays of the Los Angeles
Theatre Season (2007) as well as one of the ten best of the South Florida Theatre Season (2008). Jim Brochu
won the 2009 South Florida Carbonell Award as Best Actor in a Play for his performace as Zero Mostel.
