Cast Set For Edward Albee's AT HOME AT THE ZOO at Ruth Stage

Ruth Stage will return to the Jersey Shore Arts Center with Edward Albee’s At Home at the Zoo — the complete and fully realized version of The Zoo Story, presented with the approval of the Edward Albee Estate.

Following Ruth Stage’s acclaimed September run of The Zoo Story, the Estate has entrusted the company with the continuation of the saga, granting access to Albee’s powerful prequel Homelife — allowing audiences to experience the full emotional journey for the very first time in Asbury Park.

This explosive revival stars a powerhouse trio of stage and screen talent:

• Christian Jules LeBlanc — Three-time Emmy Award winner & star of The Young and the Restless
• Nancy Lemenager — Broadway leading lady (Chicago, Movin’ Out, Never Gonna Dance)
• Matt de Rogatis — Acclaimed Off-Broadway star of Ruth Stage’s Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

Helmed by the Oxford-trained director and filmmaker Theo Devaney, this production promises a visceral, psychologically charged experience as domestic intimacy collides with feral desperation — culminating in the now-legendary park bench encounter that changed American theater forever. At Home at the Zoo is a blazing portrait of marriage, loneliness, masculinity, power, and the human need to be seen.

This exclusive and limited three night only event takes place January 15th at 7:00 PM, January 16th at 8:00 PM, and January 17th at 8pm with audience talkbacks featured on the 15th and 16th. 

All shows will be performed at the Jersey Shore Arts Center – 66 South Main Street – Ocean Grove, NJ
