OPENING IN OCTOBER AT THE GEORGE STREET PLAYOUSE


The esteemed George Street Playhouse—another of my favorite professional theaters in New Jersey—has announced the plays they have selected for the 2010–2011 season. The first production opens in October and runs through the end of the month.

What do a flirty former actress, a teen-aged girl, a hippie husband and a divorced carpenter have in common? Not much, until they take an acting class together for six weeks, revealing secrets that they never intended and transforming in ways they never expected.

Notes from David Saint, Artistic Director: “When I saw this smash hit comedy last year at Playwrights Horizons, this quirky collection of suburbanites, reminded me of many of our own audiences from George Street. As they let down their inhibitions, and all sorts of complications ensue, I think you will all recognize many of your friends and smile."
