(TEANECK, NJ) -- Black Box PAC's first main stage show of 2019 is Significant Other by Joshua Harmon. BBPAC is no stranger to Harmon’s work, as one of the first hits at the Black Box Performing Arts Center was Harmon’s hit Bad Jews. Significant Other follows the perpetually single Jordan Berman and his trio of girl friends as they navigate dating, relationships, and supporting those you love. Performances run from January 24 to February 10th.
The show ran on Broadway in 2017, beginning performances on February 14 which the production called “Singles Awareness Day.” Significant Other is "a tenderly unromantic romantic comedy, as richly funny as it is ultimately heart-stirring" (The New York Times) and “as funny as Joshua Harmon's breakthrough play, Bad Jews, Significant Other makes you slap your knees until they're bruised" (Time Out New York). The Black Box Studios team is excited to share this comedic delight with audiences who may have missed its NYC run.
Alex Hughes stars as Jordan Berman. Hughes is joined by Tevin Barnes, Cassandra Guglielmo, Sean Mannix, and Black Box Repertory Company members Sara Giacomini, Danielle MacMath, and Larissa Terese as Jordan’s trio of best friends. The show is directed by Artistic Director Matt Okin.
