West Milford Players take on Flaming Idiots

West Milford — Carl and Phil decide the ladder to success at the post office is missing a few rungs. They know that big money is waiting for people with entrepreneurial spirit and sound business judgement. They have lots of the spirit but little of the judgement and their new gourmet health food restaurant flounders. Zippy’s, a popular crosstown spot, has been crowded ever since a notorious mobster was shot there over 20 years ago. What if someone could get murdered in their restaurant? Flaming Idiots won the New American Comedy Festival Award and the West Milford Players are pleased to end the year with such a fantastic comedy, according to Erika Crocco, president of the group. As has been the case for the 30 years that the group has existed, the West Milford Players will donate a portion of its proceeds to Hope’s Door. This donation is in memory of Carol Richards, who volunteered at the non-profit organization. Since 1980, Hope’s Door has provided a safe haven and caring services to survivors of domestic violence and their children.
