Playland accident inspires mother to write musical

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

Elayne Cassara's musical "Eternity" is based on her family's tragedy at Playland Amusement Park in Rye. Cassara wrote the musical and stars as herself — a mother struggling with the death of her 7-year-old son. Her boy, Jon-Kely, fell off a ride in August, and his mother, who was with him that day, wrote the musical as her way of coping and spreading a message that people can transcend tragedy by embracing God.
