Fans of FAMILY GUY who are in the New York City area, take note - the writers for the popular animated comedy are overnight creating a show to be performed on May 3.

"Spontaneous Combustion" is Manhattan Theatre Source’s trademark 48-hour play festival -- an intense race against the clock to present newly created short skits in under two days. For the Spring Benefit, they've teamed with the writers of TV’s critically acclaimed “Family Guy” to produce one of the wildest "Spontaneous Combustions" ever.

Today (Thursday, May 1, a008), the “Family Guy” writers were paired with actors and given and opening line and a cultural reference to use in their skits. Overnight, they will create a brand new, five-minute skit. The actors will learn their lines Friday night in advance of Saturday’s one night only performances.

Only two chances – 7 pm and 9 pm – to catch this very special evening only at the Source. Tickets are $30 at https://www.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/44701

The cast will include James Edward Becton, Bill C. Davis, Sarah Doudna, Stuart Green, Kate Middleton, Barbara Mundy, Ridley Parson, and Brandon Ruckdashel.

All proceeds from this special engagement benefit Manhattan Theatre Source, a non-profit arts service and producing organization founded in 1999.
