The story line of “A Danger to Yourself and Others,” according to playhouse publicity, takes place “the week before Thanksgiving. Eddie, anxious and in debt, tries to rob a gas station. Instead, he falls for the station clerk, bungles a burglary, gets caught with a weapon, evades hospitalization, flees from the police, and has his library card revoked.”

The cast, directed by Brendon Fox, includes Brian Owen, Heather Botts, Derrick Cobey, Téa Guarino, Stephanie Machado, Rhonda Ross and Faith Sandberg reading stage directions.
