WAR OF THE SEXES IS WAGED
IN THEATRICAL COMEDY AT WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY The comedy "Lusting after
Pipino’s Wife" will be presented at William Paterson University’s
Hunziker Black Box Theatre in Wayne. Slated for a run October 19 - 21
and 24 - 27, the community/educational theatre production is directed
by Joseph Giani. William Paterson theatre staff members Edward Matthews
and Shari Selke serve as producer/lighting designer and production stage
manager, respectively Sam Henry Kass’s "Lusting
after Pipino’s Wife" is a cleverly constructed comedy about
the never-ending war between the sexes. In a series of quick scenes, the
four characters, Vinnie, Patsy, Lorraine and Rita, use sharp and witty
dialogue to define opposing philosophies of life and love. Neither Pipino,
a restaurant dishwasher, nor his gorgeous wife is actually seen, but their
lives serve as the source of discourse for this battle of wits. The William Paterson University
cast is comprised of students and alumni. Cast members include Valerie
Megariotis (Lorraine) of Clifton, Andrew Poller (Patsy) of West Caldwell,
Tara Ricart (Rita) of Saddle Brook, and Frank Simini (Vinnie) of Dover. Show times for "Lusting
after Pipino’s Wife" are 8 p.m., October 19 – 20 and 25
- 27; 6 p.m., October 21; and 12:30 p.m., October 25. Tickets are $8,
$6 for senior citizens and members of the William Paterson community.
