Teaneck New Theatre Presents"Breaking Legs":10/21-23,28-30

"Breaking Legs," the off-Broadway hit comedy by Tom Dulack, will be presented by Teaneck New Theatre in association with The Hackensack Cultural Arts Center (HCAC) on Friday and Saturday, October 21st, 22nd, 28th and 29th at 8:00 PM, and Sundays, October 23rd and 30th, at 3:00 PM. Greg Liosi directs the show, which will be performed at HCAC, 39 Broadway, Hackensack.

The term "break a leg" is associated with wishing good luck to actors, but the expression has a slightly different connotation when the world of the Mafia collides with the world of the theatre. The wacky fun begins when Terence O'Keefe (a college professor and playwright) approaches the father of Angie (his former student) to obtain financial backing for his new play. What O'Keefe doesn't know is that, in addition to owning a successful Italian restaurant, Angie's father Lou Graziano has an extended "family" made up of mobsters. Complications arise when flamboyant Angie falls for the unsuspecting playwright. The situation becomes even trickier when a minor thug "accidentally" dies and O'Keefe finds out who his backers really are. "Breaking Legs" keeps everyone in line by serving up pasta and mayhem in equal measure.
