(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.
