Back To The Warning Track

By Louis Mascolo

Previously titled "The Year The Phillies Blew The Pennant," this Neil Simon-esque dramedy provides laughs and tears. When blue-collar, lifelong Philadelphia Phillies baseball fanatic, Harry Buntley, husband and father of two, suddenly comes into a small fortune via the return of his successful daughter, he finally enjoys a life with money in his pocket. When it is abruptly taken away, he attempts to reclaim the "joy of cash" by entering an illicit scheme with his gangster brother-in-law and to deceive his lifelong best friend into participating in the wrongdoing. But life takes a nasty twist when his scheme is discovered by his friend, the news of his only son's demise in Viet Nam and his wife's abandonment. It is then that he is forced into the realization that the "good life" is not about money, but about the precious connections to humanity and the people he loves that make life precious.The original production was staged at the Ashley McCormick Theater in Bridgeton New Jersey in April of 2014.
