Child writer and mom bring new play to the stage
Bergen, NJ (December
12,2009) - Goofball Galaxy, The Play is
happening in Bergen, New Jersey! Goofball Galaxy is a place where children live before they are born on earth. A sandy haired boy named Max, the king of Goofball Galaxy, must go on a series of adventures to save the Galaxy, since no children are leaving the galaxy to begin their lives on Earth. Something has clogged up the universe, and the children cannot hear their mothers calling to them. Max travels to the planet Sleep and Snore ™ to save the children from sleeping 23 hours a day, like the adults. He slays a bacteria infested dinosaur on Germy Wormy Land ™, and tricks a one-eyed Cyclops on the garbage infested planet of Humongo ™. Through humor and song, and episodic adventures, Max comes to learn that Goofball Galaxy is ailing, because people are not taking care of their beautiful planets. On December 11th at 10:30 am and December 12th at 1pm Goofball Galaxy will premiere at the New Jersey Meadowlands Environmental Center in Lyndhurst, NJ. The play will be directed by Jono Hustis who will also perform with a number of members of the highly regarded children’s acting troupe, Story Pirates. Goofball Galaxy will be directed and performed under the name of Story Pirates: Generation Collaboration. Tickets are $5.00 and $4.00 for members. It all started when her son’s wonderful kindergarten teacher told Lisa Williams that five year-old Sam should work on his handwriting. Williams figured the best way to proceed would be to write a story with Sam. So one typical day, when Sam was exploding with a lot of energetic silliness, she told him he must have come from a place called Goofball Galaxy. Their writing partnership began at that very moment. Most weekday evenings for about two years, Sam sat with a little blue notebook, and with his Mom beside him, he began to write about the adventures of King Max on Goofball Galaxy. The story and all the planets conceived came from Sam’s imagination. Last year, Williams, a Professor of Literature at Ramapo College of New Jersey, was awarded a grant from the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission to have their story turned into a children’s play that would be produced at the Meadowlands Environmental Center. Mom and son got working and wrote the script for Goofball Galaxy. Lisa Williams and Sam Jacovitz, now nine years old, live in Manhattan with dad/husband, Richard Jacovitz. Sam is in the fourth grade and attends P.S. 183. His favorite sport is baseball. He plans to write more plays in the future.. This event
will take place in Bergen County on December
12,2009 at New Jersey Meadowlands Environmental Center.
