AN EVENING OF ONE-ACTS @ CHESTER THEATRE GROUP

CHECK, PLEASE 
by Jonathan Rand 
directed by Jeff Jackson

Dating can be hard. Especially when your date happens to be a schizophrenic, a bigamist, or a mime. Check, Please follows a series of blind dinner dates that couldn’t get any worse—until they do. Could there possibly be a light at the end of the tunnel?

THE ACTOR’S NIGHTMARE 
by Christopher Durang 
directed by Steve Catron

Anyone who’s involved in theatre knows the dream: you find yourself on-stage, ready to perform, only you don’t know what the play is, you’ve never rehearsed, you don’t know the plot, let alone the lines!  George finds himself on stage, uncertain of where he is or how he got there. Suddenly he’s thrust on stage, it’s HAMLET?!? A glamorous actress appears to be doing PRIVATE LIVES by Noel Coward?!? Shakespeare?? WAITING FOR GODOT?? A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS??  This hilarious spoof is a classic!

The Chester Theatre Group's Black River Playhouse is located at the corner of Grove and Maple Streets in the borough of Chester, New Jersey. Free parking! Fine restaurants on Main Street.
