Attack of the Soccer Moms is a very limited engagement here in the states. Two dress rehearsals in NY before shipping off to London for two nights and then to its final destination at the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival from July 30th until August 25th. Attack of the Soccer Moms is a s.u.n.Arts, Green Room and Small Pond Entertainment production and stars Michael Whitney as the Devil "Lucky", Yvonne Roen as Dawn and Uma Incrocci as Dotti, two quintessential, small town, American soccer moms. Dawn and Dotti end up selling their souls to the persuasive Mr. Whitney in order to advance the budding careers of their two soccer-playing daughters. Dawn and Dotti's blue-collar vs. white-collar lifestyles and competition between their kids keeps them at each others throats during the show and provides for some entertaining comedy. My favorite scene was when the two ladies and Lucky are together talking in the dark. They all have flashlights which they use to shine on each other's face while all of the house lights in the theatre and on the stage are shuttered. It is a lovely and very funny scene because since the only thing visible are the actors' faces, they must use very big, funny expressions to emphasize the dialog. Very entertaining. Thanks for the show everyone! Good luck in Edinburgh!
100 in 6 budget: $647
