The Autograph Hound is a sharply humorous and inventive play which takes a revealing look at a wife who is an obsessive celebrity-chaser, a resentful husband who takes serious action against her compulsion and their young adult daughter who is caught between them.

First produced off-Broadway at the Albee-Barr-Wilder Playwrights Unit, this one-act, 60-minute comedy is “a frequently funny, if slanderous analysis of the types who haunt stage doors, hotel entrances and Sardi’s doorway in search of celebrities’ signatures” (Variety).

The Autograph Hound stars actors Helen Boyadjian (Saddle River), Kelly Camp-Force (Wayne), and Frank Osmers (Haworth).

The production team includes Jacqueline McElroy Poquette (Director), Ray Poquette (Producer; Lighting & Sound Design), Margie Druss-Fodor (Assistant to the Director), Victoria Buchner (Assistant to the Director), Marisa Dolkart (Stage Manager), David Arts (Lighting Operator), Frank O?Leary (Sound Operator), Nina Lionetti (Properties), Bunny Mateosian (Costumes), Katie Weigl (Publicity), and Kathie Robitz (Member-at-Large).

The Bergen County Players has grown tremendously from its roots as a small community theater when it was founded in 1932; today, nearly 300 volunteer members, working on and off stage, make possible the nine productions presented each season.
