Jersey Arts TV: 'Gruesome Playground Injuries' Leaves Its Mark on Art House Productions


By Gina Marie Rodriguez & Dave Tavani

originally published: 10/10/2024

When you think of the word injury, what springs to mind? Theater, right? Maybe not but perhaps it should. "Gruesome Playground Injuries" is a play written by Ravi Joseph. A fast-paced, intense, and darkly comic play, it tells the story of Kayleen and Doug, two friends whose lives are intertwined through a series of injuries that bring them together. Joseph highlights the complexity and messiness of life, reminding us that it becomes a bit easier with someone by our side.

Jersey Arts speaks with the cast and creative team behind "Gruesome Playground Injuries" at Art House Productions in Jersey City.

'Gruesome Playground Injuries' is presented from October 18 - November 10, 2024 at Art House Productions (345 Marin Boulevard) in Jersey City, New Jersey.  Tickets are available for purchase online.
