(LONG BRANCH, NJ) -- New Jersey Repertory Company presents Just Another Day by Dan Lauria from December 4-20, 2025.  Eric Krebs directs Dan Lauria and Patty McCormack in a different kind of love story.

A comedy writer and a sophisticated poet in their seventies meet daily on a park bench to exchange wits and barbs, and wax nostalgic about old movies, all the while trying to figure out how they know – and love – each other.

At least for that day.

Performances take place Thursdays at 7:00pm; Fridays at 2:00pm; Saturdays at 2:00pm & 7:00pm; and Sundays at 2:00pm.  Tickets are available for purchase online. New Jersey Repertory Company is located at 179 Broadway in Long Branch, New Jersey.

The production is directed by Eric Krebs; set design by Jessica Parks; lighting design by Jill Nagle; technical director Brian Snyder; sound design by Nick Simone; production stage manager Kristin Pfeifer; production assistant Ian Duhart; assistant lighting design Janey Huber; and master electrician James Lockhart.

Dan Lauria has appeared as a guest star in over seventy television episodic programs and more than twenty Movie of the Week productions plus a score of motion picture credits. He's best known as the Dad on the Emmy winning TV show The Wonder Years and Lombardi on Broadway.

Patricia McCormack is an American actress with a career in theater, films, and television. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for The Bad Seed. She received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960 aged 15, making her the youngest honoree on the Walk.
