For a limited 6 performance run, starting Sunday November 8th at 7pm, ChipandGus: a Comedy with Balls! will be presented by Fat Knight Theatre at The Parkside Lounge in NYC. ChipandGus comes to New York fresh from a successful run at the Fringe Festival at Centenary Stage Company in New Jersey. BroadwayWorld brings you photos from the show below!
This unconventional and inventive ping pong play is written, directed and performed by veteran New York City-based actors John Ahlin (Broadway: Journey's End, Lieutenant of Inishmore, Voices in the Dark, Film: Llewyn Davis) andChristopher Patrick Mullen ( Off- Broadway: The Runner Stumbles, National Tour: West Side Story ). ChipandGus tells the story of two colleagues who meet for their monthly ping pong game in the back of a nondescript bar in upstate NY. But this meeting is different. Tonight, to the real-time patter of paddles, buried secrets get uncovered, and the two realize that their lives are more entwined than they ever imagined.
This funny, fast and furious ping-pong-filled 90 minute play will be a site specific performance with no intermission. The play takes place in the back room of a bar, and will be presented in the back room of a bar!
