Toll Booth

  GIANNI. Father, all due respect...but what's your sin to a sinner like me? The Story Hearing confessions during the height of the Roaring Twenties in Chicago sometimes leaves Father Riley feeling like the man at the toll booth: dolling out grace like an inconvenient fine his parishioners must pay to go about their lives as usual. But when notorious bootlegger Gianni Capido rushes in with a mysteriously urgent need for absolution, Father Riley's practiced system of grace and penance is turned on its head. A play in one act. Summary "Toll Booth" was produced in May 2010 at Concordia University's Blackbox Theater. The production was directed by Allie Hanson (Ray), and starred Cayde Sprecker as Father Reilly, Henning Peterson IV as Gianni, Amanda Schroeder (Hutton) as Mrs. Flaherty, Heidi Neidfelt (Albers) as the Widow, and Dan Huth as the Hitman. "Toll Booth" is available in paperback and ebook on Amazon!
