JOHN AND GREG'S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION Plays 8/15-8/29 At NY Int'l Fringe Fest
By: Gabrielle Sierra
John & Greg's High School Reunion, a two actor, multi-character comedy written by and starring John Halbach (Roundabout's Tartuffe, Beowulf at Irish Rep) and Greg Ayers will receive its world premiere at The Players Theatre in the 2009 New York International Fringe Festival. The play, which lovingly rips on high school taboos and nostalgia, as well as the pop culture of the last decade, will feature direction by Lexie Pregosin (The Melting Potat Transport Group) and choreography by Dax Valdes (The Full Monty at Galley Players, Pinkalicious at Bleeker Street Theatre).
"In 1998, best friends John and Greg graduate high school, and now ten years later it's time for their high school class reunion. But before going, they decide to take out their senior yearbook and rehash the past, including; John's failed attempts to win the love of his high school crush Amanda; Greg's "F" average in French (and the rejecting of advances from his French tutor Marie); and of course their senior talent show, where among other things, John performed a sax solo of a classic Spice Girls ballad and the drama club reenacted a riveting scene from Good Will Hunting.After much debate, John and Greg both find themselves at the reunion surrounded by their former friends, teachers, enemies, and crushes...and anything can happen. So come by The Players Theatre and relive all those wonderful high school memories you've been repressing for years!"Videos
