Photo Flash: First Look at THE REALIZATION OF EMILY LINDER at New Jersey Repertory Company

New Jersey Repertory Company, located at 179 Broadway in Long Branch, will present the world premiere of "The Realization of Emily Linder" by Richard Strand, Author of the Civil War drama "Butler", on April 23 through May 24, 2015. Got a bucket list? Emily Linder does and it's filled with a few outrageous tasks for her daughters to fulfill before her untimely demise. Everything may not always be as it appears in this comedic-drama about Emily, an eccentric, retired university professor, who has come to the realization that she knows the exact day she will pass away. She gathers her daughters to her side to give explicit instructions and assignments to complete before her earthly departure. Emily, for the most part, is behind the wheel steering her own poignant journey in her life''s final mission, but an unexpected someone from her past emerges to divert her off course and places her in uncharted territory and on the road to possible new discoveries.

The cast includes Marnie Andrews, Dana Benningfield, Corey Tazmania and Jenny Vallancourt and is directed by SuzAnne Barabas. Sneak preview performances to this limited engagement begin Thursday, April 23 with opening night Saturday, April 25 at New Jersey Repertory Company (179 Broadway, Long Branch, NJ), and will run through Sunday, May 24, 2015.
