PRTC Ends 32nd Season With World Premiere Play A JUKEBOX FOR THE ALGONQUIN

Click Here has announced the final production of their 32nd season, “A Jukebox for the Algonquin” a World Premiere play by Paul Stroili. Tickets are on sale now.

 

At a senior living community in the Adirondacks, a small group of residents decide they're not quite ready to “go gentle into that good night.” This band of displaced former city dwellers from Brooklyn and The Bronx hatch a plot to prove that aging is not a New York state of mind. “A Jukebox for the Algonquin” is a tale about those who will not be forgotten – a serious comedy about sex, drugs, and rocking chairs.

 

“A Jukebox for the Algonquin” contains adult content and may not be suitable for children under the age of 13.

 

A Resident Artist at PRTC, Paul Stroili's autobiographical solo show “Straight Up with a Twist” toured the U.S. for over nine years, culminating in a twice-extended Off-Broadway run. Stroili's other playwriting credits include “Last Call at the Aardvark”, “Cheese Louise”, “Plane Crazy”, and “My Dinner with Arlecchino”. His screenplay for the film “The Beating” was utilized by Columbia College in their course of study on short filmmaking. His writing has also appeared in Los Angeles Magazine and New York Magazine. Recently, Paul served as Executive Producer for the feature film, “Wake”, which was awarded Best Feature Film honors at Riverside, Alexandria and Sedona International Film Festivals.  While residing in Los Angeles, he was a faculty member in the UCLA Entertainment Studies program. He lives in Chicago.

 

Performances run from Friday, July 7 through Saturday, September 2, 2023. Previews, with reduced-price tickets, are available through Thursday, July 13. The press opening is Friday, July 14 at 8:00pm.
