Description

New Jersey Repertory Company (NJ Rep), by special arrangement with Lisa Dozier Shacket, will continue its 27th season with an added special presentation of the world premiere of "Pen Pals" by Michael Griffo, directed by SuzAnne Barabas. It will begin performances on October 3, with its opening night on October 5, and run through October 20.

For decades, Nancy McKeon (“Facts of Life”) as Bernie and Gail Winar (NY: Trans Scripts) as Mag have shared every corner of their lives—the smallest moments, the deepest secrets, all the laughter, and every heartbreak--all without ever meeting in person. Through letters, their bond transcends continents, with Bernie in New Jersey and Mags in England, making them closer than anyone despite the miles between them. They've confided in each other more than they ever would with another soul.

Now, after fifty years of letters, their remarkable story unfolds. Join them as they take you through the journey of a lifetime—told in their own words.

"Pen Pals" will begin promptly at 7:30 pm on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays; with additional matinees on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 2 pm.

Tickets are on sale at NJRep.org or by calling 732-229-3166.
