“Significant Other” coming to Elmwood Playhouse

Significant Other, written by Joshua Harmon, one of the New York Times “Top Ten Productions of 2015,” comes to Elmwood Playhouse. Opening January 17 and running through February 8, this production as quoted by the New York Times is “entirely delightful, richly funny and heart-stirring.”

Poor Jordan! His gal pals are moving on and finding love—leaving him lonely and going all kinds of wrong as he tries to find his own Mr. Right. This updated take on the rom-com formula is a funny and bittersweet exploration of the quest for connection and commitment in our contemporary world.

 “Frighteningly funny…strikes the perfect balance between comedy and pathos.”
— Variety

Directed at Elmwood by Kathleen Mahan, the production features a diverse and talented cast including John Carlos Lefkowitz (West Nyack, NY), Sam Snyder (New City, NY), Changu Nan’gandu Chiimbwe (Stony Point, NY), Ceili Fitzpatrick (Piermont, NY), Carol Napier (Nyack, NY), Sean Jordan (Nanuet, NY) and Shane Romer (Old Tappan, NY).

Significant Other opens January 17 and closes February 8, with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays at 2 pm, with a captioned performance on Thursday February 6 at 8 pm.
