CAST ANNOUNCED FOR “SOCIAL SECURITY”

March 10, 2010 - Stage 212 elevates laughing to an art form with our upcoming production of Social Security, a comic masterpiece by Andrew Bergman. Barbara and David Kahn are trendy Manhattan art dealers whose cozy life together is upended by Barbara’s goody two-shoes sister, Trudy, and uptight CPA brother-in-law, Martin. En route to intervening in their daughter’s promiscuous college lifestyle, Trudy and Martin precipitously dump the ladies’ eccentric mother, Sophie, on the Kahns’ doorstep. When Sophie takes an interest in elderly artist Maurice Koenig, everybody’s life is turned upside down. Appearing as Barbara and David are Carol Mercer and Bill Gillespie. Joining them onstage are Michelle Vrtis as Trudy, Larry Kelsey as Martin, Phyllis Deany as Sophie and Andy Decker as Maurice. Production staff includes director Joe Ennenbach, producer Ellen Marincic, set designer Glen Gerrard, stage manager and costumer Carol Hartenbower, set construction foremen Dan Hartenbower and Phil Valle, sound operator Adam Miklos, lighting operator Matt Gerding and makeup coordinator Sue Yopchick. Social Security will be presented April 16 – 18 and 23 – 25 at Stage 212. Friday and Saturday performances begin at 7:30 p.m. Sunday matinees begin at 2:00 p.m. Tickets will be available to the general public for $14 each beginning March 29. Box office hours are Monday and Saturday, 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. and Wednesday, 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Tickets may also be reserved over the phone with Visa, MasterCard or Discover.
