APRIL 17 SHOW Featuring THOMAS MEEHAN one-act! World Premiere!
PUNCH 59 Sketch Comedy is proud to announce a performance on Thursday April 17th, 8pm, at the Gene Frankel Underground, which will feature the world premiere of "Movie, Movie", written by Thomas Meehan, Tony-winner and writer of the stage versions of The Producers, Annie, Young Frankenstein, and Cry-Baby.
Originally published in the New Yorker, "Movie, Movie" features the characters Bonnie and Clyde, who meet "in Coney Island; in shadows and fog…", and their ensuing dialogue consists only of movie titles.
"Movie, Movie" was adapted for the stage by PUNCH 59's artistic director, Jen Ryan ("The Imaginary, All-True Leni Riefenstahl Show") Another of Mr. Meehan's New Yorker essays, "Yma Dream", was performed by Anne Bancroft in her Emmy award winning 1970 TV special "Annie - The Women In The Life of a Man".
"Movie, Movie" features Ms. Ryan as Bonnie and Adam P. Murphy as Clyde, and is directed by Rik Sansone.
With sketches like "Bad Dominatrix", "BBC2's Baby Time", and "Interfaith Understandings from Rev. Bill and Betty", PUNCH 59 is sketch comedy the way it should be: funny. PUNCH 59 features a rotating cast of eleven of New York's most talented actors, including Jen Ryan (FringeNYC Outstanding Performance Award), Jill Butterfield, Rachael Marie Shaffer, Ray Chao, Noel Hunter, Adam P. Murphy, Johnny McCarthy, Melisa Breiner-Sanders, and Rik Sansone (Summer '69).
Thomas Meehan received his first Tony Award in 1977 for writing the book for Annie, his Broadway debut, and subsequently won for The Producers (2001) and Hairspray (2002). He is the writer of the Broadway versions of Cry-Baby. Young Frankenstein, I Remember Mama, Aint' Broadway Grand, and Bombay Dreams. Mr. Meehan is a long-time contributor of humor to The New Yorker , an Emmy Award-winning writer of television comedy, and a collaborator on a number of screenplays including Mel Brooks' Spaceballs and To Be or Not to Be.
PUNCH 59 takes pride in staging irreverent, intelligent sketch comedy and original music.
Tickets for all performances are available at the box-office day of show. Industry comps are always available. Please email us at punch59comedy@yahoo.com.
