“School Play” Day in Mamaroneck

Today marks the premiere of “School Play” in Mamaroneck. That’s the award-winning documentary about the making of Mamaroneck Avenue School’s 2005 production of “The Wizard of Oz.” Read my story here. Since I wrote that story, I have received some updates:
Director Rick Velleu wrote me that Kathy Savolt, the mayor of Mamaroneck, proclaimed today “School Play Day” and will attend the 7 p.m. screening and give the school a proclamation.
Velleu also reports that the late screening—there are shows at 3:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.—is likely to sell out, so if you really want to see “School Play,” the 3:30 is your best bet.
If you make it to the 7, and plan to attend the post-screening shindig at Cafe Mozart, play director Laurie Gage tells me that the tiny shop will likely be packed to the gunwales, so other businesses have stepped up to help out.
Here’s a bit of Laurie’s note:
“We hit the street and got enthusiastic support from some of the other local restaurants. They all offered to give discounts to movie ticket holders. We’re (Rick, me, Eddie and maybe a few of the kids) are going to “party hop” that night from one place to another. Red Plum will take 10 percent off the check with a ticket stub. Café Mozart, Rani Mahal and Le Provencal will each give a free glass of wine or soda.”
