Theater To Go is excited to offer its first streamed  full play. Watch Mark Violi's drama Riding the .Comet as performed for the New York Theater Festival Summerfest in 2017. Register for the event at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/103275200906 

In WWII Occupied France, a resistance family is visited by two American GIs. A plan is in motion to return them safely to England. But as the family endures the horrors of war, the eldest daughter, Linette, can no longer bear the loss and fragmentation of her family and becomes desperate to restore her peaceful life, while nine-year-old Andie discovers her own way of dealing with grief. When Linette is forced into an unfamiliar role, the safe return of the GIs is in jeopardy as fear takes its toll and Linette becomes increasingly desperate. The original performance of RIDING THE COMET was named a Top 5 Production of the Year by the Princeton Packet.

The stream will be available from May 1-5 and can be accessed on Eventbrite. Your donations are welcome, and half of all donations will go to support the New Jersey Pandemic Relief Fund 

All attendees will be invited  to join an online talk-back session with Mark Violi, (writer,) Ruth Markoe (director) and some performers on Weds May 6 at 7:00 pm
