(PISCATAWAY, NJ) -- Circle Players presents The Explorers Club from January 16 through February 16. Set in London, 1879, the prestigious Explorers Club is in crisis: their acting president wants to admit a woman, and their bartender is terrible.

The cast includes Bobby Marusiefski of Rahway as Lucius Fretway; Jennifer Wewers of Hillsborough as Pyllida Spottehume/ Countess Glamorgan; John Dowgin of Spotswood as Harry Percy; Aaron Ratzan of East Brunswick as Professor Cope; Bob Dumpert of Franklin Park Professor Sloan; Lewis Decker of Millington as Professor Walling; Stephen Mennella of Somerset as Bebe/ Irish Assassin; Jim Clancy of Basking Ridge as Sir Bernard Humphries; Mark Zebro of Roselle Park as Luigi; and The theater is located at 416 Victoria Avenue, Piscataway.
