Londos D'Arrigo, the hard-hitting comedy writer for Phyllis Diller, Lily Tomlin, and Joan Rivers, brings the sensational new comedy, Spreading It Around. Angela Drayton, a wealthy widow living in an upscale retirement community, is tired of handing out money to her unappreciative children. So she starts the “S.I.N. (Spending It Now) Foundation,” to give to those truly in need. This terrifies her greedy son, driving him to devise a plan to have her committed. Featuring delicious roles for adult and mature actors, this poignant family comedy has played numerous theatre in the US and Canada, and continues spreading the laughs around.
Spreading It Around made its world premiere in January 2009 at Stage Door Players in Atlanta, Georgia, where it received standing ovations and set box office records.
ANGIE DRAYTON – A likeable, caring, active woman in her late sixties. MARTIN WHEELER – A fit, well-preserved man in his early seventies. LARRY DRAYTON – Angie’s son. An arrogant, self-important fellow in his mid-thirties. TRACI DRAYTON – Larry's wife and Angie’s daughter-in-law. A self-absorbed fashionista in her mid-thirties. DR. KRAPINSKY – A serious man in his mid-fifties.
The living room of an upscale home in a gated community in Florida. The present.
“A laughter tsunami!” – Dunwoody Crier
“The show has a surprise ending which will leave you in stitches. So for a look at a brand new comedy, be sure to catch Spreading It Around.” – Theater Mirror “Viewers who appreciate the art in wickedness will find much to love to hate.” – The Rogue Critic “It is real. It is real funny. It is really funny. I give it a solid 10 on the proverbial scale.” – Publishers Feature Service “Judging by the audience response on opening night – a laughter tsunami and a standing ovation – tickets will be scarce. Grab them now.” – Dunwoody Crier
