WARNING: This comedy contains adult situations and language.

Scott and DonneThe play’s main characters, Bruce and Prudence, are deep into therapy, hoping to improve their single lives. Prudence's uptight therapist is urging her to meet someone of the opposite sex by being more assertive, while Bruce's wacky female therapist is urging him to meet someone of the opposite sex by placing a personal ad. (Right: Bruce, played by Scott Tyler from Cedar Knolls is receiving some much needed help from his wacky therapist, Charlotte played by Donne Petito from Somerset)

When the personal ad brings them together, the hapless couple must come to their senses and overcome their zany therapists’ “help” to find romance in a crazy mixed-up world.

Tara and CastThis quick-witted production will take you back to the 1980’s with a talented cast made up of Scott Tyler from Cedar Knolls as Bruce, Tara Cioletti from Wayne as Prudence, Scott Jacoby from West Orange as Stuart, Donne Petito from Somerset as Charlotte, Michael Sundberg from Parlin as Bob and David Jimenez from Chatham as Andrew.
