Award-winning Pantochino Productions Inc. has announced a senior citizen discount for it’s original musical, “The Waffle House Five," April 26 through May 19 at the MAC (Milford Arts Council) on Railroad Avenue in Downtown Milford.
Inspired by a true story, the new musical features book and lyrics by Bert Bernardi and music by Justin Rugg. Set in an Alabama restaurant, something is brewing and its not the coffee. The wildly funny story follows five waffle servers who are given lottery tickets instead of tips. They agree to split the winnings should their numbers come up. But when one of them hits the jackpot, they serve up anything but the truth.
For this production, the company is offering a special $10.00 ticket for senior citizens. This special rate is available at the door only prior to each performance.
"We're happy to offer this special rate to senior citizens," said co-producer Jimmy Johansmeyer. "It's a wonderfully funny show with a great story and characters we know our audiences will enjoy."
The cast includes Pantochino company members, Johansmeyer, Justin Rugg, Mary Mannix, Shelley Marsh Poggio, Maria Berte, Rachelle Ianniello, Valerie Solli, Don Poggio and Peighton Nash. New York’s Marci Bing returns to Pantochino, having appeared in the company’s 2012 production of Teen Santa.
Performances of “The Waffle House Five” are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2pm. The MAC (Milford Arts Council) is located at 40 Railroad Avenue in Milford on the northbound side of the Milford train station. Regular tickets are $25.00 online at www.pantochino.com. All performances feature cabaret seating and audiences are invited to bring their own food and drinks to enjoy during the performance. Refreshments are also on sale at each performance. Parking is free in all railroad station lots.
