The Theater League of Clifton Presents "Last Chance For Romance.com"

originally published: 01/13/2020


(CLIFTON, NJ) -- The Theater League of Clifton will present its 2020 dinner/theater comedy “Last Chance for Romance.com” weekends from February 15 through March 1st at Mario's Restaurant in Clifton. The two-act comedy, written by Marylou Ambrose and Tony Schwartz, tells the story about the humorous travails of senior-citizen online dating. Tony, a 65-year-old restaurant owner has been a widower for three years.

Feeling lonely, he decides to try an online dating service to meet women his age. However, when his restaurant hostess gets into his online profile and changes some details about Tony, the women who show up at his restaurant seeking “romance” are not exactly what he had in mind.

Cast members include Steve Adubato as Tony; Donna Fraissinet as Carmela; Andy Sina as Frankie; Beth Kearny as Regina, and Victoria Lopez as Jen. Linda Wielkotz is the director of the production and Pat Flood is the stage manager, while Mark Peterson is the producer of the show. Peterson also serves as the president of the Theater League. 

Wielkotz has been a prolific director for the Theater League’s dinner theater productions. Her list of credits includes “Murder at the Tropicana,” “Dealt a Deadly Hand,” “I’m Getting Murdered in The Morning,” and “B.I.N.G.O. Spells Murder.”

Performances take place February 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, and March 1 at Mario’s Restaurant, 710 Van Houten Ave., Clifton. Friday and Saturday shows begin at 8:00pm, while Sunday matinees start at 4:00pm. Tickets can be reserved online, by phone or by regular mail.
