Friends Who Can No Longer Stand Each Other
On The Next Boz and the Bard's "Play With a Play"

On Saturday, May 3, 7pm, you can participate in the reading of this new play at the Center For Modern Dance Education in Hackensack. This session also promises a unique surprise!

Maryland playwright, Jerry DiCairano, offers us "Angels of Mercy," a contemporary comedy about two old friends who can no longer stand each other. Unfortunately, Ken and George rent adjoining hangars at a rural airport and can't seem to avoid each other's company as they fuss over their small airplanes. Fueling their foul humor is their growing awareness of troubling circumstances: they are both very old and otherwise friendless, both in bad health, and both soon likely to lose their flying privileges. It also doesn't help that selfish Ken is fighting with his free-spirited daughter and that sensitive George is looking for love from a casual acquaintance who has no interest in building a serious relationship with him. As the insults fly, we wonder if the two old pilots will forge a permanent truce with each other or, perhaps more mercifully, find a way to permanently escape each other's company.

Boz and the Bard's "Play With a Play" is an invaluable tool for playwrights, and is fast becoming a uniquely exciting and informative way to spend a Saturday night.  No experience is necessary to participate.  Hess and Avellino, as directors, guide participants through the process. You can take a script in hand and be part of the show, or choose to sit back and watch the story unfold before you. Either way, you'll be playing an integral part in the further development of the play as afterwards you engage in a fascinating conversation with the writer, offering constructive feedback.

Dubbed "Karaoke for Actors" by a New Jersey reporter, "Play With a Play" audiences need only bring their interest in theater in order to participate in an evening of live entertainment.  For less than the price of a movie, the “Play with a Play” sessions will continue monthly at the Center For Modern Dance Education, 84 Euclid Avenue, Hackensack, NJ. All sessions start at 7:00 PM. Admission is $10 at the door, $7 for students and seniors. Watch for upcoming dates, or visit www.bozandthebard.com for more information.
