'Tragedy Tomorrow, Comedy Tonight!' in Mohegan Lake
Christopher Arena directs a deliciously funny view of the Southern side of life in "Mama Won't Fly.".
Do you need more comedy in your life? Have I got a show for you! Join area actor/residents in the New York premiere of the hilarious comedy Mama Won’t Fly. Produced by YCP TheaterWorks, this deliciously funny view of the Southern side of life was created by the acclaimed comedy writing team of Jesse Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten.
The story unfolds as Savannah Sprunt Fairchild Honeycutt agrees to get her feisty mother Norleen all the way from Alabama to California in time for her brother’s wedding. Savannah’s problem: Mama won’t fly. With only four days to make it to the ceremony, this determined daughter has no choice but to drive cross-country in her equally willful Mama’s vintage sedan.
As Savannah steels herself for this hastily conceived road trip, another outrageous complication arises. The bubbly, over-eager bride-to-be arrives unannounced. Hayley Quinn, delighted to finally meet her future in-laws, is convinced that travelling together to her wedding is the perfect way to bond. The folly of her decision quickly becomes apparent when the journey begins and hilarious chaos begins.

Every conceivable—and inconceivable—mishap that can occur does, including the theft of their car and all their clothes, a near-fatal encounter at an underwear museum, the accidental homicide of an ancient Texas relative, a mad dash across the desert in a hijacked eighteen-wheeler and a riotous detour to Vegas that ends in a brawl with an ordained showgirl/minister. A colorful eccentric ensemble of characters will have you rolling down the proverbial aisle.
