Stageplays Theatre Company to Present IT'S ONLY MONEY

Stageplays Theatre Company presents a 2-performance benefit concert reading Sunday and Monday, December 13-14, to introduce its next world-premiere play, It's Only Money, a new comedy by Llywelyn Jones and Tom Ferriter.

It's Only Money , is a comedy about a blocked novelist who returns home, no-strings attached protégé in tow, to unite with her sister to stake a claim for an early payout on their inheritance. Their mother, sharp-witted matriarch to the family's considerable fortune, liquidates the assets and self-commits to a retirement community, destroying all dreams her daughters have for a re-distribution of the wealth. A story where the costs of unfulfilled promise and the need for acceptance challenge the passions of a spirit that cannot be broken.

Stageplays' Artistic Director Tom Ferriter directs a cast led by Lorraine Serabian (Tony-nominee, Zorba, Cabaret original casts), Rebecca Baxter (Jekyll & Hyde, Meet Me In St. Louis, Phantom, ) Ben McHugh (Mama Mia, Hairspray, The Producers), Maria Deasy (The Crucible) and Andrew Davis ( The Cobalteans).

It's Only Money is being presented at Theater at St. Jean, a 200-seat Off Broadway venue, and former home to DiCapo Opera Theatre, located at Lexington Avenue and 76th Street, in Manhattan.

Performances are Sunday, December 13th at 7:00pm, and Monday, December 14th at 7:30pm. All seats $50.00 and benefit Stageplays Theatre Company
