Oh, and somehow it’s also...ABOUT CHRISTINE!Tony
Scarpellini (Brian Townes), a frustrated playwright,
kidnaps his favorite Soap actress, Jeanetta Jamison
(Wind Klaison) in hopes of finally coaxing her into
doing his play, PENNIES FOR CHRISTINE. Tony has alienated
his best friend Nando (kody) and his girlfriend Courtni
(Kristi Caplinger) who take it upon themselves to visit
Jeanetta, but instead encounter her overbearing mother
Sylvia (Patricia McCurdy). Cuffed to a coffee table,
Jeanetta soon turns the tables on Tony while Sylvia
masterminds her own manipulations on Nando.
ABOUT CHRISTINE had a 2-week NYC workshop production
at the Ground Floor Theatre in Greenwich Village in
December of 2002. Well-received, the word most used
to describe the play was "edgy".
