Join us as American Theater Group (ATG) presents the premiere reading of Paul Marsh’s new comedy The Waiting Room as part of its free Monday Night Play Reading Series. The cast will feature Broadway’s Brenda Braxton (Smokey Joe’s Café – Tony Award nomination; Chicago), Robert Cuccioli (Jekyll and Hyde – Tony nomination; Les Miserables) and Jennifer Smith (Anastasia, A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder).
It’s Super Bowl Sunday, and the attendants in the Goldstein Waiting Room at Plymouth Community Hospital in Plymouth, MA assume they are in for a quiet evening of rooting for the Patriots. But when the Blooms arrive, waiting for emergency surgery, followed shortly by The Waiting Room’s donor and his pregnant movie star wife, all hope of a relaxing night watching football is lost. Throw in a clueless security guard, an overworked ER doctor and a drug-seeking burglar, and the night turns downright chaotic. Through it all, characters will learn there is a time to wait patiently, a time to stop waiting and take action — and that sometimes what you are waiting for has been with you all along.
The cast will also feature Jamile Burkhart, Gina Naomi Baez, Stephanie Rosenberg, Jeffrey Williams, Brendan Walsh and Kari Nicholaisen. The reading will be directed by Jonathan Cerullo and while it is free, donations will be gratefully accepted.
