In 3 Men Playwright/Actor Mike Folie, the Author/Narrator, explores his relationship with three men who have greatly influenced the course of his life.

The Producer, the Lawyer and the Magazine Editor all interact with the narrator to present a complicated, bitter sweet tale of art, life, death and resurrection.

The production produced by Hudson Theatre Works, New Jersey's newest Equity theater company, is the second production of their 2014 season which began with One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.  It is the second time that the company has used the historic Water Tower for theatrical purposes.

3 Men grew out of HTW's annual fall festival of new play readings, PlayWorks.  This is the first play to be given a full production as a result of the PlayWorks process and the first new play produced by Hudson Theatre Works.

Mike Folie's plays have been produced Off- and Off-Off-Broadway, regionally around the U.S. and internationally, winning several awards. Dramatists Guild Magazine named him one of Fifty Playwrights to Watch.  His play The Adjustment was produced Off-Broadway by Ted Snowdon, starring Tony nominee Liz Larsen. The Adjustment's original six-week L.A. run extended to six months, with The L.A. Times calling it, "The kind of play the American Theatre desperately needs."  The Adjustment also toured Great Britain starring Stefanie Powers.  Naked by the River has been produced in London and at several theaters in the U.S.; staged readings in L.A. have featured actors Tim Allen and Dana Delany, Scott Bakula and Nancy Travis. A German language version Nackt am FlussC continues to be produced in that country.  Panama was produced at the Dublin Fringe, NJ Rep, The Edison Theatre (Long Beach), Oregon Stageworks (Ashland) and elsewhere. Love In the Insecurity Zone, published by Original Works Publishing, Los Angeles, has been produced in New York, London, Los Angeles and other cities in the U.S.  An actor for ten years prior to becoming a playwright, Mike is also a freelance speechwriter for senior executives at Fortune 500 and other companies.
