Café Theatre Ends its Summer Run at MONDO this Weekend!

Looking for something to do on a lazy summer evening - maybe some great entertainment and a light meal? You can find it right in downtown Summit, at MONDO's Brownstone Theatre, 426 Springfield Ave.

Café Theatre is a collection of eight short comedic plays performed by a talented ensemble of actors in the intimate space on MONDO's third floor. According to reviewer Liz Keill, "The plays are a delightful mix of unexpected scenarios, with excellent actors. The space at Mondo is on the third floor, with brick walls and tables and chairs where you can order coffee, tea or soft drinks. It’s definitely an off- beat way to spend an evening, fun and different."

The popular ten-minute play festival was brought to Summit by Café Theatre producer David Hoffman and MONDO creator Annette Dwyer one year ago.

As Hoffman explains, “Last summer was our first production in Summit, and we sold out our last four shows. People here love the arts. This production is fortunate to have brilliant actors performing comedies from eight talented playwrights. It's simply a fun evening!”

Dwyer adds,“Why go to New York for quality theatre when you can walk down the street and see it right here?"

Café Theatre’s "SUMMER SHORTS - Off The Hook" will be ending its summer run this weekend. Remaining show dates are July 24th, 25th and 26th. Ticket price is $24 for adults and $15 for students. Show time is 8:00 pm, with doors opening at 7:30. Dessert and coffee will be available to everyone before the performance and during intermission.

Tickets may be purchased in advance at the theatre box office, located on the first floor in MONDO, or reserved by phone at 917-969-4534. For more show information, visit www.cafetheatre.org.
