About this Event

The Drama Book Shop presents, in association with Jay Michaels Global Communications, “Cooler” with Craig Houk. A talkback, signing, and live podcast recording.

About the Play

 Oscar winner, Jack Dunn, returns to Connecticut after being gone for nearly four years in McGrath, Alaska. His closest friend, Wade Henry, also an award-winning actor, has something Jack wants. After a long evening of drinking and poker with their pals, Jack and Wade, both eager to cement their legacies, face off one last time. Or so it seems.
