JACK GOES BOATING Comes To The Bay Area's Aurora Theatre 6/12-7/19

By:

Closing Aurora Theatre Company's 17th season is the Bay Area Premiere of Bob Glaudini's (A View from 151st Street) Off-Broadway hit JACK GOES BOATING. Bay Area theater veteran Joy Carlin (Hysteria, Bosoms and Neglect, The Price) helms this quirky romantic comedy, featuring Amanda Duarte, Gabriel Marin, Beth Wilmurt, and Danny Wolohan.

JACK GOES BOATING plays at the Aurora Theatre in Berkeley June 12 through July 19. For tickets and information ($28-50) the public can call (510) 843-4822 or visit auroratheatre.org.

A modern take on old-fashioned romance, JACK GOES BOATING finds loveable slacker Jack enlisting the aid of his two best friends to win the girl of his dreams. The inner workings of two love affairs, laced with cooking classes, swimming lessons, and illicit recreational substances, are etched out in laughter in this charming portrait of four New York eccentrics learning how to stay afloat in the deep waters of day-to-day living.

Hailed as "endearing . . . witty and knowing and all heart" by Variety, and ‘‘an immensely likable play [that] exudes a wry compassion' by The New York Times, JACK GOES BOATING premiered Off-Broadway in 2007 at the LAByrinth Theater Company in residence at The Public Theater.
