If you don’t read Newsday, you missed the feature article on Tony and Penny Grover, founders and co-producers of "the best kept secret on the North Shore," A Small Company In America. And if you don’t see ASCIA’s next presentation, you’ll miss a rollicking good time. As the year and current season draw to a close, A Small Company In America, is busy rehearsing for its final presentation of 2005, Neil Simon’s "The Prisoner of Second Avenue". This comedy is one of the true classics of modern theater and one of Simon’s most remarkable plays. A dark comedy, "Prisoner of Second Avenue" is about Mel and Edna, a couple who have reached middle aged only to have their secure world fall apart. Simon tells their story with his own unique blend of comedy and pathos set against the frustrations of modern life in New York. Rehearsals are already underway for this production at ASCIA’s home in the New York Institute of Technology’s Old Westbury Campus. The theatre is located in Salten Hall. Easily accessible, the campus is on Northern Blvd. (between Glen Cove Road and Route 107. The cast of "Prisoner of Second Avenue" will feature ASCIA regulars Susan L. Blake and John F. Anderson as the hapless couple and Barbara Vissichelli returning to the ASCIA fold as Mel’s sister, with producer/co-founder Tony Grover handling the direction of the production and set design. This great comedy is set to run for three weekends in December. Call and reserve your seats for the best night of comedy or give the gift of comedy and order tickets for loved ones as Holiday Gifts.
