NJ Rep Announces Upcoming Mainstage Production THE SOURCE

New Jersey Repertory Company, located at 179 Broadway in Long Branch, is proud to present the world premiere of Jack Canfora's THE SOURCE, winner of an Edgerton Foundation New Play Award. Performances run March 7 through April 7, 2019.

This powerful play examines the forces that shape our views of the world and the influence of the media on our society and individual privacy. It delves into the inner workings of a newspaper dynasty, and deals with the explosive conflict between its founding patriarch, his entitled son, and the ambitious young woman who is caught in the middle.

The Source stars Eleanor Handley, Andrew Rein, and Conan McCarty and is directed by Evan Bergman. It is the fourth play produced by New Jersey Rep written by the award-winning playwright. Past premieres by Canfora include Place Setting, Poetic License and Jericho. Poetic License and Jericho both moved to Off-Broadway after their original productions at NJ Rep.
