WILKES-BARRE TWP. &mdash; The Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza will host Northeast Pennsylvania&rsquo;s first-of-its kind &ldquo;drive-in&rdquo; live event experience featuring &ldquo;Jim Gaffigan: Drive-Thru Comic&rdquo; on Saturday, July 18 at 8 p.m. in the arena&rsquo;s parking lot.
				ASM Global, the arena&rsquo;s management company, announced the event Wednesday morning that is being sponsored by Geisinger.
				&ldquo;After three months of watching show after show fall off of our calendar, we are so excited to be talking about a new event,&rdquo; said Will Beekman, ASM Global&rsquo;s general manager at the arena. &ldquo;And we are so thankful that Mr. Gaffigan is willing to work with us on this.&rdquo;
				Beekman added, &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know if we are as innovative as it may sound. I just think we are lucky enough to have a large parking lot, and a dedicated staff that&rsquo;s willing to work hard to try new things. We have spent the past month trying to put this together, and it&rsquo;s nice to see it come to fruition.&rdquo;
				Beekman also was clear on another point.
				&ldquo;I have already had a few people ask me if Mr. Gaffigan is going to be there in-person,&rdquo; Beekman said. &ldquo;To be clear, he will be live in Wilkes-Barre Township, performing on a 40&lsquo; x 40&lsquo; stage, and we will have multiple LED screens that will add so much to the experience.&rdquo;
				Tickets are $150 per vehicle, and go on sale Friday, June 12, at 10 a.m. exclusively via Ticketmaster.com. Only touchless, mobile tickets administered through the Ticketmaster app (iOS | Android) will be valid for these performances.
				A limited number of Gold Circle ($300) & Silver Circle ($250) parking spaces will be made available for the performance. Gold Circle and Silver Circle parking guarantees a spot in the first few rows in closest proximity to the stage.
				Local connection
				There is a local connection to Gaffigan. Dan Savage, 32, the son of Dr. Donald and Kathleen Savage of Shavertown, graduated from Dallas High School co-directed one of the most acclaimed independent movies of 2019 &mdash; &ldquo;Them That Follow&rdquo; &mdash;that Gaffigan played in opposite Olivia Coleman, who won Best Actress in 2018 for The Favourite.
				Dan&rsquo;s father, Dr. Donald Savage, is an ophthalmologist with an office in Kingston.
				Dan Savage is co-writer and co-director of the movie &mdash; with Britt Poulton &mdash; about religious Pentecostals in Appalachia who use venomous snakes to prove their worthiness before God. But, it is also a love and coming-of-age story that treats the religion in a nonjudgmental way.
