(JERSEY CITY, NJ) -- Hilarious modern fairy tale "Janey Miller's World Tour" will make its world premiere this November when it lands in Hudson County, NJ. After featuring the 2015 Eugene O'Neill Playwriting Conference semi-finalist in several of its festivals and readings, the Speranza Theatre Company is finally bringing Los Angeles writer John Cassel's brilliant comedy to life November 5 through 14, 2015.
In the play, lovable girl-next-door Janey Miller finds herself in several unlikely situations, from winning the lottery to hopping across the globe to escape her evil stepmother, and perhaps even falling in love with a handsome prince.
"John's writing is witty, smart, and fast-paced," said director Heather Wahl. "We've had three different readings of this play and it's just a play people thoroughly enjoy...Audiences are going to love this show! They're going to spend 90 minutes laughing and simply being entertained."
The show stars Speranza vet Jenelle Sosa in the title role opposite Kevin Sebastian as Karl Philip. Taking on the play's two quick change roles and playing all of the supporting characters are Speranza company member Elyse Knight and Trey K. Blackburn.
The show is stage managed by Amy Hadam and also features an imaginative toy-castle-inspired set by Robert Bohn.
"If you've ever seen a child's set of wooden blocks, that's what we'll have on a larger scale," explained Wahl. "We'll have cubes, triangles, platforms, ramps, trap doors, and can make basically whatever we need! It's going to be a lot of fun for the audience to watch."
"Janey Miller's World Tour" runs from Nov. 5 to 14 (11/5 - 11/14). Shows are Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. with Saturday matinees at 2 p.m. for young adults (ages 12 and up). There will be a Pay What You Can show on Wednesday, Nov. 4 at 8 p.m. benefiting local nonprofit WomenRising. On Thursday, Nov. 5, there will be an opening night reception immediately following the performance.
All shows will be at Art House Productions, 136 Magnolia Ave., Jersey City, N.J. Tickets are $20 for general admission and $15 for matinees and for seniors and students during any performance. For more information, visit
