Video games, music, and pizza form the cultural undercurrent of Band on the Run, a new play by Chris Saglimbene featured in this year’s Stages Festival. A playwright, actor, vlogger, gamer, artist, and all-around talented guy, Saglimbene has cerebral palsy but, as he says, “it doesn’t have him.” Actors from Premiere Stages at Kean University join Saglimbene in a staged reading on March 23 at the Schonhorn Arts Center at Matheny Medical and Education Center in Peapack. Producer Susan Wallner talks to Saglimbene and Heather Williams, performing arts coordinator of the Arts Access Program at Matheny.
