Chatham Players have been bringing to our audiences original works by New Jersey connected authors for 30 years. This year, enjoy 7 Short Plays in One Evening. 7 Directors. 16 Actors. This is Theatre.

  • Sexpo 2091  by Alex Bernstein, Directed by Alyson Pemoulié Halter:
    The promise of a sex-fueled extravaganza takes a sharp turn when a wife informs her husband that she has other plans.

  • A Leap of Faith  by Susan Brown-Peitz, Directed by John A.C. Kennedy:
    In the middle of a tense family crisis, two adult siblings step into the backyard of the house they grew up in, to navigate a history of broken trust and personal failures, in an effort to determine whether there’s still a possibility for light at the end of the tunnel.

  • Negate the Gods  by Clinton Festa, Directed by Stephen Mennella:
    A Greek god and goddess, in the midst of their eternal punishment by Zeus, are taught a lesson in the power of positive thinking by an unexpected source.

  • Sunday in the Park with Will  by Ed Friedman, Directed by Cass Cochrane:
    A middle-aged man secretly meets with the daughter of his romantic partner. Things don’t turn out as either of them had planned.

  • Blow, Gabriel, Blow  by Jeanne Johnston, Directed by Ed Faver:
    Gabriel, an average guy with an average life, learns from an attorney, Luci, that he has inherited a large sum of money and a trumpet. To get the money, he must blow a single note on the horn. In comes a third party, Michael, who does his best to convince him to reject the offer. But why?

  • Lillian Whistles Back  by Alexis Kozak, Directed by Michael Sasso:
    After his wife dies, a middle-aged ornithology enthusiast has continued to live with his mother-in-law. Tension between these housemates comes to an explosive (and uncomfortably humorous) head as they grapple with grief and their shared reality.

  • The Forgiven  by Alex Wilkie, Directed by Julia Cassisi:
    Two women, one holding a grudge and the other at peace, debate past indiscretions.
