parallel Lives - Staged Reading
Parallel Lives
By Mo Gaffney and Kathy Najimy
Staged Reading of a play
Produced by Cultural Arts Coalition
Directed by Christine DiTota & Pia Haas
One Night Only
Saturday September 21st - 8:00 pm
Where: The Studio Around the Corner
67 Main Street, Brewster
This is a FREE reading.
Donations in any amount will be cheerfully accepted at the door and all proceeds will go directly to the restoration of the Old Town Hall Theatre Space. A 250 seat theatre directly above The Studio Around the Corner.
A yummy reception and Talk back with the actors and directors will follow this play reading.
THE STORY: In the opening scene, two Supreme Beings plan the beginning of the world with the relish of two slightly sadistic suburban wives decorating a living room... From this moment, the audience is whisked through the outrageous universe of Kathy and Mo, where actresses play men and women struggling through the common rituals of modern life: teenagers on a date, sisters at their grandmother's funeral, a man and a woman together in a country-western bar. With boundless humor, PARALLEL LIVES reexamines the ongoing quest to find parity and love in a contest handicapped by capricious gods—or in this case, goddesses.
"…a romp with a feminist sensibility; it's a humor for a post-Lily Tomlin generation…Above all, PARALLEL LIVES is a smart, provocative show." -Variety
Starring:
Irene Howard
Chris Jamison Matthews
Christine DiTota
Amanda Bevacqua
Heather Wund-Matos
Stephanie Schleicher
Brittany Carrasco
Jill Paxton
Michelle Moriarity
Nancy Prekpelaj
Margaret Carey
