Dreamcatcher & Playwrights Theatre to Premiere 100 YEARS, 10/2-19
Dreamcatcher Repertory Theatre, professional Theatre in Residence at the Oakes Center in Summit, and Playwrights Theatre of New Jersey of Madison are co-producing the premiere production of Richard Dresser's 100 Years. This dark comedy set sometime in the not-too-distant future has been developed on stages across the country before coming to New Jersey. 100 Years plays October 2 through 19, with talkbacks following the October 5 and 12 matinees.
In the play, Joan and Stevie prepare for what has been promised will be a transformative experience. But what will this mean for life as they know it? And what's the deal with the strange couple next door? From the playwright of such funny and topical plays as Rounding Third, Gun-Shy and The Pursuit of Happiness, 100 Years confronts today's most dire global crises with incisive humor and sly wisdom.
The comedy will be directed by Laura Ekstrand (Livingston), and will feature Eli Ganias (New York), Julian Gordon (Summit), Stacie Lents (Hoboken), John Pietrowski (Long Valley), and Harriett Trangucci (Summit), who is a member of Dreamcatcher's professional Resident Acting Company.
100 Years will run at Dreamcatcher from Thursday, October 2 through Sunday, October 19. Performances are Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 8:00 p.m., and Sundays at 2:00 p.m. Tickets range from $20-$35, with special rates for subscribers and groups.
