By:

Alliance Repertory Theatre Company opens its 14th season with Rachel Axler's dark comedy, Smudge. Artistic Director Michael Driscoll of Edison directs a talented cast of Lili Marques of East Hanover, Gus Ibranyi of Bloomfield and Brad Howell of Toms River, with lighting designer Ed Pearson. The show runs tonight, Sept. 14-29.

A dark comedy about the changing face of the American family and the limits of love and cheesecake, as a young couple gives birth to smudge. An ambitious play that ponders such big questions as how to communicate and what it means to be alive.

All performances take place at Wharton Music Center, 60 Locust Ave., Berkeley Heights, NJ, tonight, Sept. 14 – 29th Fri. and Sat. at 8 PM, Sunday Sept. 23 at 2 PM.

Tickets are $20 for Adults, $16 for Seniors/Students. For directions and tickets, call: 908-472-1502, or visit the website at www.AllianceRep.org.
