New Direction Community Theater announces performances for the Tom Dulack’s “Mafia meets the theatre” comedy “Breaking Legs.” Tickets are $15 ($12 for students and seniors), and may be purchased online at ndctheater.org.

In “Breaking Legs,” a professorial playwright seeks funding for his new play from the family of a former student. The “family” turns out to be minor Mafia godfathers who are willing to underwrite the play provided they never have to read it—which doesn’t mean they won’t want to make some changes. The fact that the lusty, unwed daughter of the house is pursuing the playwright only makes life more complicated.
