Gallery Theater announces the cast of its first show of the 2015-16 season.

Relationships in Progress, written and directed by Carl Zeitler, is made up of six short plays portraying various people in relationships we all can relate to: first dates, co-workers, spouses, siblings, and friendship. Whether fun and light, serious and deep, or some combination of those, the characters deal with their relationships with one another as well as the world around them.
