RadioStPete INSIDER news director Nanette Wiser caught up with Sages Theater executive director Christine Hamacher about March's new play Phoney Baloney – an original, thought-provoking one-act play hitting four cities across Tampa Bay this March. In a groundbreaking collaboration with local Law Enforcement and Consumer Protection, the spirited cast of seniors is on a mission to expose scams and protect their peers from falling victim. Phoney Baloney is not just a play; it's a rallying cry against the scammers targeting the elderly. This fast-paced production weaves together true stories of con artists attempting to exploit seniors, bringing humor, chaos, and a touch of rebellion to the stage. The story unfolds as a diverse group of friends gathers at the local community center, sharing tales of the absurdity that ensue from simply answering the phone.
Adding an extra layer of entertainment and insight, the "Greek chorus" observers, Miss Jessica Filcher and Sergeant Moe Monday, offer witty commentary and essential tips to outsmart these "dirty, rotten" scammers. Prepare to be captivated by the dynamic performances, clever storytelling, and the empowering message that Phoney Baloney delivers. SAGES Theater invites you to join the fight against scams, support local talent, and enjoy an evening of laughter, suspense, and inspiration with Phoney Baloney. This isn't just an entertaining play; it's a movement to empower and protect the senior community.
