Child & Family and The Newport Playhouse Present “Spreading it Around”

NEWPORT, RI – Child & Family and the Newport Playhouse are kicking off Memorial Day weekend early with a benefit for Child & Family’s Elder Services Program. The benefit, which will be held on May 23rd, 2013 at 6:00pm at the Newport Playhouse, will begin with a buffet dinner and a performance of Spreading It Around”. The evening will also feature a fun-filled cabaret and a raffle with exciting prizes.

The play, Spreading It Around written by Londos D’Arrigo, is a light-hearted comedy about a wealthy widow in a retirement community who is tired of handing out money to her unappreciative children. She decides to start the S.I.N. (Spending It Now) Foundation to give to those truly in need. This terrifies her greedy son and his shopaholic wife. Fearing they will lose their inheritance, they devise a plan to have her committed. Mama, however, will have none of that!
