EVENT PREVIEWS

How My Grandparents Fell in Love

'How My Grandparents Fell in Love' Tells an Emotional Story

It can be fun to hear about how people who love each other first met. This is especially true when it's part of your own family. That very subject is covered in a new show commissioned by New Jersey Repertory Company (NJ Rep) and now playing at their theater in Long Branch, NJ. How My Grandparents Fell in Love is based upon a true story which adds to the enjoyment of seeing this show.

REVIEW:

REVIEW: “The Mallard” at Premiere Stages

Nine years ago, Premiere Stages introduced me to the playwright Vincent Delaney with a production of Las Cruces. I thought he had a masterful ability to pull a topic right out of the day's headlines and place it into a story that showed the affect it had on real lives - turning the stories from mere statistics into something more. After seeing his latest work at Premiere Stages, I am fully convinced of his ability.
