FINGERS CROSSED Solo Show to Make One-Night-Only Workshop Debut in NYC
Stacy Cancelarich's solo show, directed by Michael Gardiner, will be staged at Paradise Factory Theater.
Stacy Cancelarich's solo show Fingers Crossed will be performed for one night only on July 21 at 6pm at Paradise Factory Theater as part of Diamond Mesh's "Manifestival."
After a fateful car accident on Thanksgiving Eve, Stacy's beloved father gets diagnosed with heart failure.... and then lung cancer.... oh, and Alzheimer's too. Yikes. In this outrageously funny and darkly poignant solo show, Stacy Cancelarich attempts to care for her dying father while colliding with the COVID-19 Lockdown, her severely obsessive-compulsive mother, and her rehabilitated cult-member sister in the most rollicking hospice care story this side of the nuthouse. Written and Performed by Stacy Cancelarich. Directed and Developed by Michael Gardiner.
