I'm Not Rappaport is an Award winning, inspirational celebration of the lunacy and levity of life, following two of the most captivating characters you've ever met. Set in a secluded spot in Manhattan's Central Park, two octogenarians are determined to fight off all attempts to put them out to pasture. You can't keep a feisty old man down!

Nat is a lifelong radical constantly fighting injustice (real or imagined), a quick-witted trickster; he has a new plan and a new identity for every occasion. The other half of this unconventional pair is Midge, a quiet and proud man--a former champion boxer now fighting to keep both a job and his peace of mind. That is, if Nat would just leave him alone.

Together, they relive their glory years, comically tilt at the injustices around them and dream the dreams of younger men again. George Henare (Nat) and Ray Henwood (Midge) return as the irresistible due duo, twenty years after their sell-out Downstage season in 1987.

Director - Steven Ray
Featuring - George Henare and Ray Henwood
