“Wake Me at Midnight”
By
Joe Simonelli
Directed by
Bethany Miranda
Struggling playwright Ted Santi is waking his 'black sheep' uncle Joey upstairs at the funeral home while
all hell is breaking loose downstairs in the lounge! Who are some of the people you're likely to run into at an Italian wake? How about your ex-wife, ex-girlfriend, current girlfriend, local bookie
and pesky funeral director, all of whom you owe money to! What's a guy in need of quick cash to do? How about enlist the aid of his zany relatives to find the winning sweepstakes ticket that the
practical joking decedent has hidden somewhere in the funeral parlor on which the statute of limitations is set to expire at midnight!
WHAT THE CRITICS SAID:
"A black comedy set in a funeral home with the emphasis on comedy. A must see."
