New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The Collaborative presents a Play Reading Group special staged reading of the flame-kissed noir comedy, INCENDIARY by Adam Szymkowicz, on Saturday, July 29th and Monday, July 31st.
This love triangle sparks when Elise, a pyromaniac fire chief, falls in love with Jake, the detective investigating her fires. Carrie, Elise's therapist, is trying to get her to stop lighting fires, while Gary, Carrie's husband, is leading the life of a somewhat ineffective corporate spy.
The talented cast is comprised of active members of The Collaborative, including
Danielle Langlois as Carrie, Chad Coe as Jake, Susan
Louise O'Connor as Elise, and Josh Odsess-Rubin as Gary, along with Cortés Alexander, Lola Noh, Kris Frost, Jillian Morgese, Andrew Lukich, and
Travis Richey.
Directed by Jake Warnecke, an established bi-coastal casting professional who has worked on numerous high-profile film and television projects, including Tokyo Vice (Max), The L Word: Generation Q (Showtime), Lopez vs Lopez (NBC), Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Sony), and Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker (Disney) among others.
The production team also includes assistant director/stage manager Marisa Van den Borre, and producers Aleisha Force and Jill Tenney.
These special performances are a fundraising event to benefit the Los Angeles based actor non-profit organization.
