Our three heroes are officially in over their heads.

After accidentally killing a rhinoceros that belonged to Pablo Escobar (yes, that Pablo Escobar), Charlie, Sam, and Marcus must scramble to replace the beastor face the wrath of a very-much-alive crime lord.

Act Two turns the volume up on absurdity, as the guys tumble through hallucinogenic jungle rituals, cartel parties, DEA showdowns, a full-on rhino heist, and one unexpected monologue that might just save their lives.

Starring:

• Tim Friedlander as the Narrator
• Jim O'Heir as Charlie Bleeker the neurotic, reluctant hero
• Darin Toonder as Marcus the chaos agent with a trust fund and a dream
• Jeff Bergman as Sam loyal, closeted, and occasionally clairvoyant
• Wayne Lopez as Pablo Escobar the crime lord-turned-cheesemaker with a soft spot for rhinos
• Andrea Savo as Lucia a badass Colombian cop whos more Indiana Jones than law enforcement
• Keylor Leigh as Audrey Charlies sharp-tongued, no-bullshit ex-wife
• Lynette Coll as Maria Chung Escobar Pablos power-tripping wife with a hair-trigger temper
• Dustin Green as Agent Knowles a DEA cowboy with a chip on his shoulder
• Holden Myers as Agent Martinez the sidekick who really just wants empanadas

Written by Craig Goodwill & Sam Ruano, Pablos Rhino is a tequila-soaked thrill ride full of midlife panic, monkey knife fights, and unexpected heart.

Charlie Bleeker’s life is unraveling—his writing career is stalled, his ex-wife is a cop who can't resist pulling him over, and his teenage son views him as a failure.

Pablo’s Rhino

Welcome to the table read that makes international crime, midlife crises, and questionable decision-making look like an art form. A washed-up accountant, a cartel queen, two bumbling DEA agents, and—because why not—Pablo Escobar’s pet rhino collide in a story so absurd, so wildly unpredictable, that even the characters can’t believe they’re in it.

Performed by an all-star cast who bring every unhinged line to life with reckless abandon:

🎙 Tim Friedlander as the Narrator
🎙 Jim O’Heir as Charlie, a brilliant writer turned reluctant action hero
🎙 Darin Toonder as Marcus, a trust-fund playboy with a taste for trouble
🎙 Jeff Bergman as Sam, a closeted man finally stepping into the spotlight (and possibly a fight cage)
🎙 Wayne Lopez as Pablo Escobar, a crime lord-turned-domesticated pastry chef
🎙 Andrea Savo as Lucia, a fierce detective with a soft spot for fools
🎙 Dustin Green & Holden Myers as DEA agents Knowles & Martinez, trying (and failing) to expose the truth
🎙 Keylor Leigh as Audrey, Charlie’s no-nonsense ex-wife who knows exactly how to keep him in line
🎙 Lynette Coll as Maria Chung Escobar, the real power behind the throne

Written by Craig Goodwill & Sam Ruano, Pablo’s Rhino is an over-the-top, fast-talking, bullet-dodging, tequila-soaked thrill ride that should probably come with a warning label.

Fast, smart, and just deranged enough to keep you coming back for more. Hit play before someone puts out a bounty on you too.
