(LONG BRANCH, NJ) -- New Jersey Repertory Company (NJ Rep), an award-winning incubator for new plays and daring theatrical voices, has announced its 2026 Mainstage Season — a year of intimate, muscular storytelling that dives into reinvention, reckoning, genius, and the tangled threads of family history.

After the relatively mainstream horror hat trick of Gretel & Hansel, Longlegs and The Monkey, director Osgood Perkins has returned to the more challenging fare of his earlier work with Keeper. Shot in Canada while production on The Monkey was held up by the 2023 Hollywood strikes, Keeper was quickly devised as a way to keep Perkins busy. And, boy, does it show. It has the stank of all of those half-baked horror movies that were shot in filmmakers' homes during the pandemic lockdown. There's barely enough plot here to fill a 20 minute segment of a horror anthology, never mind a feature. It's a cobbled together collection of horror clichés that only holds our attention due to a committed performance by Tatiana Maslany.
The Makin Waves Song of the Week is "Hope," an anthemic single that fights hate released by REDBIRD Flying Solo, aka Jersey Shore singer-songwriter Danielle Marrone.
