LoMotion Live presents "SW/SP"

originally published: 04/10/2024

Deshja Driggs as Alex and Ben Weisman as Dave 

(BOONTON, NJ) -- LoMotion Live presents SW/SP, a new stage play from screenwriter and playwright Caytha Jentis, at the Parsippany Arts Center from April 12-14, 2024. SW/SP is a cross generational social commentary comedy about the conundrum of love, dating, connection and sex in our digital driven world where everything and everybody is a swipe away and nobody tells the truth. The play comes to New Jersey following a successful Off-Broadway run.

The New Jersey cast is led by Alex (Deshja Driggs), a divorced hip urbanite dwelling down on love mother. The ensemble includes Cassidy, (Megan Moran) her college-aged sex positive sugar baby college daughter, Dave, (Ben Weisman) a porn-addicted suburban unhappily married husband/father, Maggie, (Diane Harrington) his depressed stay-at-home mom wife and Jay (Deke Stoklosa) a sweet romantic OF Worker and personal trainer. They all become interconnected in a farcical, love-affirming fun way.

The production is directed by Lauren Moran. Moran, the artistic producing director of LoMotion Live, a theatre dedicated to creating conversation through theatre and the art.  The team is rounded out with Todd Mills on Set and Lighting Design and Jeff Knapp on Sound Design.  

SW/SP will play April 12-14, 2024 at the Parsippany Arts Center (1130 Knoll Road) in Boonton, New Jersey. Tickets $25 in advance $30 at the door (cash or check only!) Tickets are available for purchase online. The production is recommended for ages 18+.

Small

'Small' Brings Big Energy to George Street Playhouse

When thinking about occupations kids say they want when they get older, a list comes to mind – doctor, superhero, firefighter, etc. But not many would find their passion at the horse racing track and say they want to become a jockey. In "Small," an autobiographical play written and performed by Robert "Bobby" Montano, the story follows Montano as he races and fulfills his dream on the horse racing tracks of Long Island, New York. It does not stop there, however. The 90-minute play is a story of love, loss and more as Montano grapples with some difficult life decisions.
