'Bill W. and Dr. Bob' at the PAC
Galloway, N.J. – “Bill W. and Dr. Bob,” a play detailing the inspirational true story that led to the creation of Alcoholics Anonymous, will be presented at the Stockton University Performing Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 3.
Ronnie Marmo and Steve Gelder star as New York stockbrocker Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith. The two founded Alcoholics Anonymous.
The play, directed by actor, writer and producer Ronnie Marmo, tells the story of New York stockbroker Bill Wilson, who became a hopeless drunk after the 1929 crash of the stock market, and Dr. Bob Smith, a surgeon from Akron, Ohio, who was an alcoholic for 30 years and who often went into the operating room under the influence. The powerful and funny play also details the story of the duo’s wives who founded Al-Alon.
The PAC is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year of bringing artists, audiences and the community together through live arts.
