Description

The Birch Street Gym is a place where men seventy years of age and older go to become boxers. They are lonely, they are angry, and they have a lot of time on their hands. And if you are angry and have a lot of time on your hands, you have the tools to be a good boxer. This is a sad comedy about aging.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications.
