New Jersey Repertory Company Continues its 27th Season With the World Premiere of THE OTHER AMERICAN

New Jersey Repertory Company  will continue its 27 th Season with the world premiere of The Other American by D.W. Gregory (Radium Girls), directed by James Glossman. It will begin performances on September 5, with its opening night on September 7, and run through September 29, 2024.

Inspired by a true story, The Other American is set in Paris in 1952. After tangling over politics with an American tourist, a promising art student spirals into a mental breakdown that derails his life. Thirty years later, he discovers why: The tourist was a CIA operative, and the student was an unwitting participant in one of the darkest chapters of the Cold War.   

"We are thrilled to present the 158 th world premiere at NJ Rep with D.W. Gregory's 'The Other American.' Gregory, known for her powerful storytelling plays such as 'Radium Girls,' brings a gripping tale that explores the unexpected intersections of art, politics, and espionage during one of the Cold War's most shadowy chapters. This play promises to captivate and challenge audiences as we continue our 27th season ."— Suzanne Barabas, Artistic Director of NJ Rep
