PARSIPPANY – Prepare to laugh as LoMotion Live presents an afternoon of staged readings featuring three brand-new short comedies by local playwright Bob MacKay. Directed by Beth Amiano Gleason and starring a talented ensemble cast, this one-time event will occur on Sunday, December 15, at 1:00 p.m. at the Parsippany Arts Center, located at 1130 Knoll Road, Lake Hiawatha.
The program will include:
Missing Home
A hapless minor league baseball team is stuck far from home and faces an unexpected challenge before they can return. Hilarity ensues as they navigate the mix-ups and missteps that keep them stranded.
A Very Walgreens Christmas
The holiday spirit turns chaotic when a new photo-op with Santa at the local Walgreens results in Black Friday antics that are anything but merry and bright.
A Date With Destiny
What happens when a fortune-telling machine at an arcade goes rogue? For Jerry and Destiny, their second date spirals into a hilariously awkward and revealing encounter.
The readings will feature performances by a stellar cast, including Scott Cagney, Gianna Esposito, Shawna Lagan, Vanessa Ott, Veronica Gaspar, and David Hoffman. Under Gleason’s direction, the actors promise to bring MacKay’s witty and offbeat stories to life.
