Everything In Its Place: The Life and Slimes of Marc Summers will debut this spring at Bloomington, Indiana's Bloomington Playwrights Project in the Ted Jones Playhouse. Written by School of Rock star Alex Brightman, iconic television personality Marc Summers will perform the biographical one-man show. Performances will begin April 1 and will run for three weekends through April 16.

Throughout his career, Summers has hosted or cohosted over 25 television series including the popular Nickelodeon game show Double Dare, the Food Network series Unwrapped, and many more. He is also the producer of two additional long-running Food Network shows, Dinner: Impossible and Restaurant: Impossible.

"I began my career as a professional magician and as a stand-up comic. I will re-visit that era of my life within the body of this new show," says Summers. "While I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been successful in other areas of the entertainment world, appearing on-stage before a live audience has always been what I’ve enjoyed doing the most. And with a tip of my hat and a wink of the eye to the countless TV game shows I’ve appeared on, we anticipate that an actual game show could possibly break out in the middle of my new live show. In fact, members of our theater audience might even win real prizes!"

The Life and Slimes of Marc Summers is produced and directed by Chad Rabinovitz and his Bloomington Playwrights Project, with original music by Drew Gasparini. Following its initial three-weekend run in Bloomington, the play will head to the Adirondack Theatre Festival.
