"Tracy Jones" is a touching comedy of individual connection in an increasingly busy world. And the play will mark the first fully staged production in Arthouse Production's new space.
The play's synopsis reads: "The main character, Tracy Jones, rents out the back "party room" of Jones Street Bar and Grill: The Place for Wings and Things to throw a party to which she's invited every woman in the area who is also named Tracy Jones. Tracy sits for over an hour alone, nursing her Diet Coke, waiting for any other Tracy Joneses to show up, and help alleviate her epic loneliness. Through her encounters with the limited guests that attend, this hilarious play challenges the audience to question loneliness, connection, and why we do the things we do."
Jersey Arts speaks to director, Alex Tobey and writer, Stephen Kaplan about bringing this show to life.
"Tracy Jones" runs from October 19 through November 5, 2023. For more information or to purchase tickets, click here.
Art House Productions is located at 345 Marin Boulevard in Jersey City, New Jersey.
