Playhouse 22 presents "Check Please"

originally published: 03/05/2024

(EAST BRUNSWICK) -- Check Please, a play by Jonathan Rand, opens at Playhouse 22 on Saturday, March 9.  Performances are Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00pm with Sunday matinees at 2:00pm through March 17. Check Please follows a series of blind dinner dates that couldn't get any worse -- until they do.

As part of the theater's "On the Edge" black box series, Playhouse 22 has transformed their traditional stage into a new theatrical experience with the audience sitting on stage, close to the action unlike anything you have ever seen before at the theater.

The show is directed by Alison Bender featuring Chantel Amissah, Shail Choksi, Allison Giles, Francisco Mestres, Betty Meyer, Ryan Miller, Anne Marie Noronha, Jason Rand, Jessica Van Horn and Jillian Wagner.

Limited general admission tickets are $18 and available for purchase at Playhouse22.org or by phone at 732-254-3939. Playhouse 22 is conveniently located at the Elliott Taubenslag Theater at the East Brunswick Community Arts Center, 721 Cranbury Road, East Brunswick.
