Actually, I probably need a film icon, but anyway.
Screenwriters' Workshop & Sabes JCC Presents
A ScriptNight Reading of a full length comedy
GRAVE MATTERS by Karen Frank
Ally Meier is a reluctant volunteer planning the World’s Most Perfect
Wedding for her sister Dani. What Ally doesn'’t expect is their estranged
gonif father Leo to show up on their doorstep...with a loan shark close
behind. Leo wants a place to hide and a little time to complete a small job
that promises a big payoff.
Leo, an unsuccessful salesman, fled Miami just in time to attend Dani’s
wedding in Parkersburg, West Virginia. He hopes that the “Wedding That Ate
Parkersburg” will be a good hide out for a while. Then his macher sister
Lilah makes Leo an offer he can’t refuse. If he can get their father’s body
moved from the wrong graveyard in Parkersburg to the right graveyard in
Miami, Lilah will pay off all Leo's debts.
Good thing Leo isn't above a little small time crime. Too bad grave robbery
is a felony.
Ally already is juggling her bossy mother, snobbish in-laws, non-Jewish
boyfriend, orthodox Grandfather (who just happens to be the Rabbi) a shy
student of the Talmud, shadchan relatives, and 300 wedding guests. Add Leo,
two scheming ex-football players, the loan-shark enforcer, and one newly
unearthed casket... it’s going to be a madcap wedding that no one forgets.
DATE: Saturday, September 27th • 7:30pm
WHERE: Sabes Jewish Community Center Theater, 4330 South Cedar Lake Road,
Minneapolis
TICKETS: $5 (members & students) $10 (non-members and general public)
Sponsored by : Sabes JCC, Screenwriters Workshop, Fredrikson &
