Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons at Arts Council of Princeton

New Jersey-based theater company Chimera Productions is proud to present its 15th production, Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons by Sam Steiner, in Princeton, New Jersey on July 19, 20, 21, and 22, 2023. The play, presented in the intimate 60-seat theater inside Princeton’s Paul Robeson Center for the Arts, is a witty, satirical play that offers a constant balancing act between political parable and classic love story, with a dash of the absurd to keep you on your toes. It’s an insightful look into our modern lives and how a single word—or five—can change everything. Chimera Productions is returning to the stage with its first play since 2019.

Longtime friends and collaborators Jeffrey Alan Davis, a high school drama teacher, and Drew Griffiths, a playwright, actor, and author, are the founders of Chimera Productions. Both are especially looking forward to bringing this stirring play to the stage alongside a talented cast of on-the-rise actors. 

“It’s thrilling to be back in the theater after a three-year hiatus for Chimera’s 15th season. When the Covid pandemic began, we knew we had to press pause, but we didn’t realize how hard it would be and how much we missed the process of crafting our brand of independent theater. Now, with rehearsals in full swing, a witty, challenging, and powerful script, two talented young actors, and our old friends at the Arts Council of Princeton supporting us, all that's left is the audience. We can't wait for them to take their seats and enjoy what we do best for another 15 years!” said Griffiths.

The pair are committed to keeping theater affordable, with tickets available for as little as $15, comparable to a movie ticket, thereby opening the art form to a wide range of audiences.

This production of Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons stars Diana Moldanado and

Elijah Davis. Moldonado is a recent graduate of Montclair State University with a BFA in Acting and most recently worked on TRACK by Angel J. Rivas, directed by Dennis Oliveira at Villagers Theatre in Somerset, New Jersey. Davis is a student at Montclair State University (class of 2025) and has appeared in five University plays. 

Tickets will be available at the door starting at 7:30 p.m. each night of the performance for $20 ($15 for Students/Seniors and ACP members), via cash, Venmo or PayPal, or can be purchased in advance via Chimera Productions’ Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, which runs through July 17 (https://igg.me/at/lemonsplay).
