Theatre Americana is pleased to announce a staged reading of the original musical "Mary of the Avenue" on Sat., April 28 in Pasadena.
"Mary of the Avenue" was co-written by Greg Wood and Neil Scanlan, and is a light hearted musical about street people living in New York City. The play is about a woman, Mary, who graces the streets of Manhattan, wearing Broadway Playbills in the lining of her weathered coat to keep her warm. She keeps an array of colorful street characters as her friends who will make you laugh at their delusional, yet refreshing outlook on life. Mary's life is turned up side down when her daughter, Carrie, seeks help in finding Mary to bring her home.
The play is charming, light hearted and filled with wonderful music based on original scores, with such songs as " Designer Clothes, Homeless Not Hopeless, "Sacks" of Fifth Avenue, Life's a Pisser and more.
Prior to the reading, there will be a wine and cheese reception. This reading is FREE, but will require a reservation.
