(LONG BRANCH, NJ) New Jersey Repertory Company has announced their 2022-2023 Mainstage Season.

(LONG BRANCH, NJ) New Jersey Repertory Company presents the National New Play Network premiere of Eden Prairie, 1971 written by Mat Smart. Directed by Evan Bergman, the play stars Andrea Gallo, Oriana Lada, and Emilio Cuesta. Performances run from October 20th through November 20th. As war churns in Vietnam, night falls over the tranquil hills and creeks of a small Midwestern town, and a young woman hears a tap at her window. On the same night Apollo 15 makes its lunar landing, a young draft-dodger steals home to Eden Prairie, after a 300-mile trek from Canada.
Broadwayworld had the pleasure of interviewing playright, Garret Jon Groenveld about his fascinating career and the upcoming, 'The Hummingbirds' at NJ Rep.
Is there nothing that the New Jersey Repertory Company cannot do? I've seen them produce side-splitting comedies and gripping dramas and now the "Pin-Up Girls."
