We also meet Uncle Louie and Aunt Gert, with their own idiosyncrasies and set of survival issues. Look out! I love the humanity, vibrancy and spirit of this play. Loaded with humor and heart, perhaps we'll see that with a little help, we can make it through our darkest days.” The cast of San Diego Performers includes SRT Artistic Director, Jill Drexler as Grandma Kurnitz, Katee Drysdale as Bella, Kenny Bordieri as Eddie, Eddy Lukovic as Louie, Melanie Mino as Gert, J.P.
