Hudson Theatre Works' presents its Virtual Festival. 

New Jersey Theatre Alliance presents Hudson Theatre Works' Virtual Festival.  This event is part of the Alliance's Stages Festival.

This original comedy, developed at Hudson Theatre Works, is by Luigi Jannuzzi. Luigi has 27 plays published by Samuel French: EXHIBIT THIS! - THE MUSEUM COMEDIES (13 One acts), ALL THE KING'S WOMEN (8 One acts), NIGHT OF THE FOOLISH MOON, FOR THE LOVE OF JULIET, A BENCH AT THE EDGE, THE BARBARIANS ARE COMING, THE APPOINTMENT, and WITH OR WITHOUT YOU. Luigi is a contemporary American comedic playwright. A native of New Jersey, Jannuzzi attended Bound Brook High School, Raritan Valley Community College, Salem University, WV & The University of Notre Dame, where he received a Master's Degree. From 1978 - 2012 at Immaculate High School, Somerville, NJ, he taught English, Drama and Creative Writing.

During a fortuitous meeting at the edge of an abyss, two strangers contemplate the existential decisions that have lead them there. A Bench at the Edge is a sharp and uncompromising dark comedy that examines mental health and free will. Luigi Jannuzzi's distinctively Beckettian piece of theatre delivers a broad observation on attachment to their existence and loss of hope, while directly addressing the individual complexities that push people to suicide. Directed by Kasia Różycki, the play is quiet and, even in the sparse auditorium of the Tristan Bates Theatre, offers a cinematic atmosphere to the story.

Comedy and drama are on the table with the turkey this Thanksgiving, when Kaleidoscope Kabaret, an annual program of short plays by the members of The Theater Project's Playwrights Workshop comes to Union Center, November 23 and 24. Two of the plays in the program are about the joys and woes of the approaching holidays.

Writers need inspiration; since the annual showcase of new work from Theater Project's Playwrights Workshop is being performed at Unity Bank, the authors chose to write about money, or the lack thereof, to create LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK, an evening of short comedies. This is the latest of a series of POP UP Theater events designed to bring entertainment to Union and foot traffic to the Union's Downtown Center, hosted by Unity Bank, in a cleverly converted annex at its Stuyvesant Avenue branch.

As part of the Camden Fringe Festival, Theatre of Heaven and Hell bring you A Bench at the Edge. Originally by contemporary American playwright Luigi Jannuzzi, this dramatic dark comedy originally 'treaded the boards' in 1981 but quite aside from having lost relevance over the years, if anything its message is more important now than ever before.

Last night, in their 97th Season, The Chatham Community Players performed the closing show of their 24th Annual 'Jersey Voices' showcase which consists of one-act plays by New Jersey Playwrights.

Jersey Voices explores the joys of live, original theater in The Chatham Playhouse, where Jersey Voices has provided a venue for New Jersey playwrights to showcase their work since 1995. There's a risk in coming to see any author's new work, whether you've heard of them before or not. It's brave and courageous, and we're grateful our audience trusts us enough to share the experience. Jersey Voices has presented the work of more than 75 authors in their 24 years. "I'm constantly amazed by the talent and creativity of the Playwrights of New Jersey whose plays we get to present every summer", said Co-Producer, Bob Denmark. "The plays this year run the gamut from comedy to heart gripping drama, and the themes cover many aspects of life such as loss, fear and unconditional love."

Hudson Theatre Works is happy to announce its 2018 - 2019 season. We are excited to be able to do this since this is our first full year in our new space.

ALL THE KING'S WOMEN is currently running at the Stage III Community Theatre, from June 8 to June 24.
