	“GOD OF CARNAGE”, A HILARIOUS COMEDY,  

	 OPENS FRIDAY, MAY 3 AT SCHENECTADY CIVIC PLAYERS 

	 SCHENECTADY – The fifth play of Schenectady Civic Players’ 91st
Season, _GOD OF CARNAGE, _a comedy_ _by Yasmina Reza (translated by
Christopher Hampton) and directed by Joseph Fava, opens Friday, May 3,
and plays through Sunday, May 12 at its 12 South Church Street
Playhouse in Schenectady’s historic Stockade district. 

	 Winner of the 2009 Tony Awards for Best Play, _God of Carnage_ is a
brash and hilarious exploration of human nature. The original Broadway
production starring Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis, James Gandolfini, and
Marcia Gay Harden, closed on June 6, 2010, after 24 previews and 452
regular performances, making it the third-longest running play of the
2000s. 

	  _GOD OF CARNAGE_ presents an evening in the lives of two couples,
residents of a tony Brooklyn neighborhood, who meet to civilly discuss
a playground incident between their two eleven-old-boys. At first,
diplomatic niceties are observed, but as the evening progresses the
polite veneer breaks down. “Ms. Reza’s streamlined anatomy of the
human animal incites the kind of laughter that comes from the gut, as
involuntary as hiccups or belching.” – NY Times  

	 The cast features Cristine M. Loffredo (as Veronica Novak), Knathan
MacKenzie-Roy (as Alan Raleigh), Marty O’Connor (as Michael Novak)
and J.J. Paul (as Annette Raleigh). 

	​ _GOD OF CARNAGE _runs Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (May 3, 4, 5)
and May 8 through 12.  Friday and Saturday curtains are at 8 pm.
Wednesday and Thursday curtains are at 7:30 pm., and Sundays are
matinees only at 2:30 pm. 

  Tickets are $20. Order on-line at www.civicplayers.org [1]  Or call
