“The Long Weekend” Directed by Marion Pintello The Pintello family has chosen another play by their favorite playwright, Norm Foster, as the next production for their popular comedy troupe, newly re-opened in Gilroy. “The Long Weekend” is the story of two couples who are long-time friends getting together for a reunion. The audience first meets one couple, then the other, and when all four people get together things are not what they seemed at all. In the second act, which takes place two years later, circumstances have really changed for everyone, including the viewpoint of the audience This new show will open on Friday, June 8th, and run Friday
and Saturday nights Produced by Rod and Marion Pintello, the comedy play is being presented in the Gilroy Grange Hall, 8191 Swanston Lane in Gilroy. The comedy troupe continues to present full-length comedy plays featuring local actors, comfortable table seating, coffee and cookies, and their trademark friendly welcome. The two couples are played by local actors and real-life friends Bill Corneth, Jo Anna Evans, and Marion and Rod Pintello. Bill just completed performances with SVCT’s California Suite, and Jo Anna directs and acts for the community theater group. Both are returning to the Pintello Comedy Theater stage and relishing the intimate comedy venue. Rod Pintello is recognizable all over the South Bay as a comic actor and musical theater performer. Marion and Rod have appeared together on stage for Center Stage, for SVCT and two years ago for their own Pintello Comedy Theater. While Marion more often directs plays, she has enjoyed her forays into comedy and musicals. “The Long Weekend” is her first adventure directing and acting both in the same show. “Directing is natural for me, but I have to concentrate a lot more to be an actor as well,” she says. Bringing five new comedies to the stage in their first year at the Grange Hall is a labor of love, says producer Rod Pintello, and he adds that the family is very happy with the central location off Leavesley Road between Monterey and Forest. “Our most recent show set attendance records, we’re very pleased with the enthusiasm of our audiences; our patrons have become friends.” Opening night at the cabaret-style theater will be Friday, June 8th, with performances continuing Friday and Saturday nights through June 30th. Information and reservations can be found at the web site www.PintelloComedy.com, or by calling 408-776-8004. Or you can reach the Pintello family on e-mail at Pintello@charter.net.
