Penguin Rep Theatre Premieres Son of Zeus, a Riveting New Solo Play by Jimmy Georgiades

Stony Point, NY – Penguin Rep Theatre, under the leadership of founding Artistic Director Joe Brancato and Executive Director Andrew M. Horn, proudly continues its 48th season with the world premiere of Son of Zeus, a powerful new solo work written and performed by Jimmy Georgiades. Directed by acclaimed playwright and actress Gretchen Cryer (I’m Getting My Act Together and Taking it on the Road), the production runs July 11 through July 27 at Penguin’s intimate, 108-seat barn-turned-theatre in historic Stony Point, New York.

Set in Hell’s Kitchen, Son of Zeus follows the poignant, deeply personal story of a Greek American man raised by a single mother and former belly dancer. The play explores themes of family, heritage, and identity, blending humor and heartbreak. Artistic Director Brancato describes it as “A Bronx Tale meets Zorba the Greek.”

Performances will be held:

Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m.
Select Friday matinees at 2:00 p.m.
Select Friday evenings at 7:30 p.m.
Saturdays at 3:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
Sunday matinees at 2:00 p.m.

Tickets are priced at $52, with discounts for groups of 10 or more and for young patrons aged 30 and under. Son of Zeus is also featured as part of Cheap Thrills Friday on July 11 and Posa Posa Pizza Friday on July 25.

The venue, a repurposed 1880 hay barn, is praised by The New York Times as “never more inviting.” It is air-conditioned, handicapped accessible, and offers plenty of free parking. “It’s theatre so close you can feel it,” says Executive Director Horn, “with no seat more than 30 feet from the stage.”

A new indoor entertainment destination is heading to Rockland County, as Slick City Action Park is preparing to make its way to West Nyack.

Promising giant slides, air courts and plenty of high-energy attractions, Slick City is expected to bring a different kind of entertainment experience to the area for families, children and thrill-seekers.

Unlike traditional trampoline parks, Slick City Action Park focuses on indoor action attractions, including large slides, air courts and interactive activities designed to keep visitors moving and entertained.

The concept offers an opportunity for families looking for an exciting place to spend time together, particularly during colder months and rainy days when outdoor activities are limited.

The upcoming West Nyack location is expected to add another entertainment option to Rockland County, giving residents a new destination for family outings, birthday celebrations and group activities.

While additional details, including the anticipated opening date, operating hours, admission prices and specific attractions, have yet to be confirmed, excitement is building over the arrival of this new indoor attraction.

For Rockland County residents, the question is no longer whether there’s something new to do — it’s how soon they can experience it.

The Slick City West Nyack location is officially scheduled to open in December 2026.

While an exact calendar day for the grand opening has not been announced yet, you can keep tabs on their progress or buy advanced tickets closer to the date directly through the Slick City West Nyack Portal.
