LITTLE ROCK — Other entertainment events this weekend:
Hot Springs neurologist and playwright Richard G. Pellegrino will bring the New York cast of his off-off-Broadway play I Love You … Not to the Spa City for a staged reading at 7 p.m. Friday and 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday at the RayLynn Theater, 202 Malvern Ave. A question-and-answer session with the actors will follow. Pellegrino has extended what had been a fully staged, 30-minute one-act version of the show that appeared onstage at the Players Club, a New York actors club, into a 75-minute one-act play which he plans to showcase for New York theater owners in March. The play involves a psychologist being blackmailed by an old “friend” and on a collision course with a narcissistic reality TV producer. The cast is Dan Grimaldi, who played identical twins Philly and Patsy Parisi on The Sopranos; New York actor/director Roger Simon, who recently finished filming Wall Street 2; and Donna Moore, who wrote and starred in a new off-Broadway musical called Cougar.
