Information:

J CITY Theater is thrilled to announce the opening of our 7th Season! And to kick off Lucky Season 7 - we have chosen a show that will be sure to knock your socks off! Timely? Check Political? Double Check Funny? Triple Check On Friday, October 12th, we kick off the year with REGRETS ONLY, by award winning playwright Paul Rudnick. REGRETS ONLY is a political satire, an outlandish farce and a comedy of Park Avenue manners. Rudnick, known for his hilarious and delicious one line zingers, has written a piece that crackles with energy and shock. The night is ruled by wise cracking maids, glittering gowns, madcap mothers and opulent excess. But underneath all the sophistication and lunacy is a surprising story of kindness, friendship and learning to take a stand for what one believes. It is the story of Tibby, an upper east side society maven and professional party goer, and her friendship with Hank - one of the world\'s leading fashion designers whose long term partner has recently died of cancer. Arriving for a glittering evening of charity events, Hank and Tibby learn that her husband, a successful attorney, has been asked by the President to draft a constitutional amendment against same sex marriage. The three friends are forced to explore the meaning of friendship, love, commitment and exactly what is marriage (gay or straight) all about! Ultimately Hank sets up a plot of revenge that nearly brings the world to a halt. \"Paul Rudnick is one of the funniest quip-meisters on the planet\" The New York Times \"Hilariously witty - Rudnick\'s script is ripe with jokes at the expense of the upper class\" Show Business Weekly \"A devastatingly accurate political and social satire.\" BackStage The cast includes Eric Purcell as Jack, Sandy Cockrell as Tibby, Marvin Bell as Hank, Angela Sharp as Spencer, Cammie West as Myra and Norrice Raymaker as the indomitable Marietta. Also - in our lobby, Gallery 9 is very excited to present the couture creations of local fashion designer and artist Uta Brauser of \"Fish with Braids\" Full Details: October 12th through October 27th 8:00pm Tix: $20.00 Tickets can be purchased through www.jcity.org or calling 800-838-3006 At 252 Ninth Street, Jersey City, NJ 07302 Specials: We continue to offer our \"Two for Thirty Thursdays\" - get 2 tickets for a total of $30 on Thursday performances And don\'t forget about our great Dinner and A Show Package.
