Now in our third year, One Weekend Only is Chatham Community Players’ black box series, a two-show slate of productions, staged for just one weekend each, to complement our mainstage season.
These shows have small casts, small sets, and are staged up close to our audiences. This is where we take a chance on the unexpected. These productions burn bright - but only for a very short time.
"You may have missed the Chatham Players’ recent One Weekend Only show [World Builders] but be sure to look out for the next one. This is the second OWO production I have seen (the first was the fabulous Mary’s Wedding). The amount of work and energy put into three performances is staggering and a testament to this little black box theater that dares to step beyond the tried-and-true fare of many community theaters. We are lucky to have such a plucky, adventurous troupe here in New Jersey." - Ruth Ross, nj arts maven

Bob and Fran Price have worked their fingers to the bone, and with their four children grown and ready to fly the nest, it might be time to relax and enjoy the roses. But, as each season brings changes, it becomes clear that life never works out as planned. With insight and humanity, playwright Andrew Bovell taps into the poetry, beauty, and tragedy of everyday life to create a deeply moving play that will resonate with anyone who has ever been part of a family.
