What do you get when an engaged couple on the brink of getting married runs out of money to accommodate its extravagant wedding plans, and to fix this problem decides to sell cocaine to an addict in a sleazy hotel room? Wait, that's not all. The addict then inexplicably kills himself and leaves behind a mess that has far more dire consequences than the choice to sell cocaine to fund a wedding that wouldn't be complete without the blessed ice sculptures. Obviously, this is an easy one, as not many plots are this exhilarating. You get Panic at the Riverside Motel, a comedic drama that is currently gracing the stage at the Stage IV Theatre and making audiences laugh and squirm uncomfortably at the same time.

Panic Productions presents Panic at the Riverside Motel, a riotous, fast-paced dark comedy written by John Pastore about a dead body and all the inconveniences it causes an engaged couple in a seedy motel. Maria Riboli directs a cast of five, including Olivia Rose Barresi, Tom Burka, Tom Cappadona, Thom Christensen, and Michael Orlandi. Performances will be staged at the newly remodeled Stage IV Theatre, 300 West 43rd Street, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10036 from January 15-February 8, 2014.

Fresh off Want and Need, Maria Riboli will direct John Pastore's explosive new family drama, Family of Strangers. Previews begin February 27th before an opening March 1st. Performances run through March 16th at Roy Arias Stage II, formerly the Turtle Shell Theater, at 300 West 43rd Street, 4th Floor.
