'Out of Control' to Play MITF Beginning 7/18

Last Effin' Penny Productions is pleased to announce the New York premiere production of OUT OF CONTROL directed by Leah Bonvissuto. OUT OF CONTROL will play a limited engagement as part of the Midtown International Theater Festival at The Dorothy Strelsin Theatre at Abingdon Theatre Arts Complex (312 West 36th St., 1st Fl.). Performances begin Friday, July 18.

OUT OF CONTROL is a dark comedy, which chronicles the effects of a self-help guru on a women's support group called Overindulgers Anonymous.

Peter Quick, a popular motivational speaker, comes to town as a guest lecturer to help the women overcome their various addictions, bringing more than just his astute instruction. When he begins to woo single-mother and group member, Sweetie, he faces the skepticism of her over-protective reading tutor, Brenda, a lesbian and fellow overindulger.

The production features costume design by Cat Fisher and lighting design by Jessie Vacchiano. Mandy Decker is the stage manager and board operator.
