Craigslist-Inspired MISSED CONNECTIONS to Return Off-Broadway

MISSED CONNECTIONS NYC has announced the return engagement of the acclaimed MISSED CONNECTIONS: An Exploration into the Online Postings of Desperate Romantics, created by Ricky Dunlop. MISSED CONNECTIONS will play at 9:00pm for a six-week limited engagement at The Kraine Theater (85 East 4th Street). Performances begin Tuesday, September 6. Press are invited to all performances.

In MISSED CONNECTIONS, a cast of colorful comedians take on the sometimes touching, sometimes torrid, and almost always grammatically incorrect postings on Craigslist's most notorious section. The show, being equal parts stand-up and improv, comes to life through dozens of unique characters. With fresh material and a new guest star from TV, film, or Broadway each week, the audience never quite knows what they're about to see.

The production stars Jennifer Jean Anderson* (The Hole, The Great American Trailer Park Musical), Michael Lorz* ("Gotham", "Elementary", Rock of Ages at Gateway Playhouse), and Jake McKenna (Host of Bound for Broadway and So You Think You Can Belt?).

The show also features special guest stars. On September 6 Andy Moskowitz (The Magnet Theater), on September 27 Amy Jo Jackson* (dialect coach for Broadway's Kinky Boots), and October 4 Jessica Kirson ("Last Comic Standing", "The View", "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno"), and comedian Gilbert Gottfried on November 29th, with more to be announced in upcoming weeks.

MISSED CONNECTIONS plays the following schedule: Tuesdays at 9:00 pm on September 6 & 27; October 4 & 18; and November 15 & 29. Tickets are $20 and are now available online here. Tickets may also be purchased in-person at the theater's box office, ½ hour prior to performance. Running Time: 75 minutes. More info at missedconnectionsshow.com/Missed_Connections.html.
