Our June Script in Hand is . . . A Tailor Near Me!
When a man brings a pair of too-tight suit pants to a neighborhood tailor for a simple repair, he gets far more than he bargained for. What begins as a routine fitting becomes an unexpected friendship – and the commission of a tailor made suit that leads to alterations in both of their lives.
“I’m excited to present the wonderful A Tailor Near Me as our next Script In Hand reading. Michael Tucker has written a beautiful, funny, deeply observant play about friendship, reinvention, and the surprising ways we shape ourselves to fit the lives we think we’re supposed to lead. Beneath the wit and warmth is an incredibly rich character study of two men finding connection where neither expected it. We’re thrilled to welcome director James Glossman to the Playhouse and to bring together such stellar casting for this perfectly tailored night at the theatre.”
– Artistic Director, Mark Shanahan
To make a suit, you have to have a glimpse of the man inside."

Out In JerseyABOUT SCRIPT IN HAND PLAYREADINGS
Every Script in Hand playreading is a brand new experience.
At a Script in Hand playreading, there’s nothing between you and the actors on stage. These readings bring actors who’ve just met — or who’ve known each other for years — together for one day to rehearse and perform a play on a bare stage, with simple lighting — and you. The audience is in charge of conjuring the set, costumes, and atmosphere — or nothing at all. Actors, audience, and the director come together to create a special, one-night-only experience.
