THE IN-LAWS starring Alan Arkin and Peter Falk is one of our ART HOUSE THEATER DAY selections!

Fueled by inspired casting, THE IN-LAWS is an odd couple comedy whose clever premise is ably supported by a very funny script. Mild-mannered dentist Sheldon Kornpett (Alan Arkin) is uncomfortable with his daughter's marriage after meeting her future father-in-law, Vincent Ricardo (Peter Falk). Over dinner, Vince tells sheldon about several of his intercontinental exploits and Sheldon is concerned that Vince is not altogether what he seems. His suspicions are confirmed when Vince reveals he needs Sheldon's help with a secret mission.

"Andrew Bergman has written one of those rare comedy scripts that escalates steadily and hilariously, without faltering or even having to strain for an ending." - New York Times

In an alternate present-day version of Oakland, black telemarketer Cassius Green discovers a magical key to professional success – which propels him into a macabre universe.
