Lewis Gardner’s
Wheels will have its world premiere at the Arts Society of Kingston (ASK) with two performances, November 11 and 12 at 7:30 p.m.
Wheels is a contemporary look at “guy stuff” concerning friends, brothers, strangers, lovers, colleagues, and mentors. One of the component parts of Wheels, “Pete & Joe at the Dew Drop Inn,” was recently published in Best American Short Plays 2008-2009, and another, “Wheels of Justice,” will be published this fall by One-Act Play Depot. Gardner’s plays have been published and performed throughout the U.S. and other countries, including Remember Me, written for and performed by Academy-Award winner Kim Hunter, and musicals written with Oscar Brand and Daniel Paget.
The multiple characters of
Wheels will be performed by a cast of two, Ron Morehead and Joseph Bongiorno.
Ron Morehead has performed with some of Broadways most esteemed composers including Marvin Hamlisch (A Chorus Line), Steven Schwartz (Godspell), David Shire (Baby) and Jason Robert Brown (Parade) at venues including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Radio City Music Hall and the White House. He is also founder and artistic director of Crown Productions, a non-profit dedicated to raising funds for other non-profit organizations.
Joseph Bongiorno has been active in local theater in the Hudson Valley since 2000. He has read work-in-progress plays at the ASK Playwrights Lab on many occasions. His most recent full production at ASK was With and Without by Jeffrey Sweet in February 2011.
A suggested donation of $10 will be requested for the benefit of ASK’s programs. Reservations are suggested, since seating is limited. Phone
(845) 338-0331 for information and reservations.
