Steve Guttenberg Throws Out First Pitch at Somerset Patriots Game

Published by New Jersey Stage

originally published: 04/20/2023


Steve Guttenberg, starring in the upcoming new comedy Tales from the Guttenberg Bible at George Street Playhouse (running April 25 to May 21st), joined the GSP team to throw the first pitch at a recent Somerset Patriots (Yankees) game.  Steve signed autographs, met fans and hung out with the Patriots mascot Sparkee.

Featuring 90 characters, four actors, and one Steve Guttenberg, this fully staged production is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. Tales from the Guttenberg Bible, is a farcical, laugh-out-loud story written by and starring veteran screen actor Steve Guttenberg (Three Men and a Baby, Police Academy, Cocoon). This hilarious journey from the Guttenberg’s family home on Long Island to the glamour of Hollywood as Guttenberg himself tells-all – i.e. how he broke into the Paramount Lot – to his run-ins with everyone from Paul Reiser to Tom Selleck, Kevin Bacon to Merv Griffin. It would be an unbelievable tale, if it wasn’t true (mostly).

Here are a few photos from the ballpark.

(L to R) Jason Paddock (GSP), Steve Guttenberg, James N Heston (GSP) and Corrine Antonelli (GSP).

Under the leadership of Artistic Director David Saint since 1997, George Street Playhouse produces groundbreaking new works, inspiring productions of the classics, and hit Broadway plays and musicals that speak to the heart and mind, with an unwavering commitment to producing new work.  As New Brunswick’s first producing theatre, George Street Playhouse became the cornerstone of the revitalization of the City’s arts and cultural landscape.  With its 47-year history of producing nationally renowned theatre, the Playhouse continues to fill a unique theatre and arts education role in the city, state and greater metropolitan region.
