(HACKETTSTOWN, NJ) -- Centenary Stage Company and Centenary University’s all student NEXTstage Repertory presents Leslye Headland’s: Bachelorette. The production opens Thursday, November 5 and runs through Sunday, November 8 in the Little Theatre located at 400 Jefferson Street Hackettstown, NJ on the campus of Centenary University.
Bachelorette is the story of 4 high school friends, ten years out of high school. Regan, Gena and Katie convene in the luxurious bridal suite of their old friend, Becky, the night before her wedding in New York City. Fueled by jealousy and resentment, the girls embark on a night of debauchery that goes from playfully wasted to devastatingly destructive. Their old fears, unfulfilled desires and deep bonds with each other transform a prenuptial bender into a night they'll never forget. A wicked black comedy about female friendship and growing up in an age of excess.
Directed by guest artist, Georgia Mallory Guy, the cast and creative team of Bachelorette is comprised entirely of Centenary University students. Guy also serves as the Producing Artistic Director of ThinkTank Theatre:TYA in Tampa, FL. She is a noted theatre and music educator, having been a professor at the University of South Florida, Ohio University, and Troy University. Currently, she splits her time between Pittstown, NJ and Tampa. Georgia received her MFA from Ohio University in 2010 and is a proud member of Actors’ Equity Association.
