COMEDY DATE NIGHT WITH JACKIE BYRNE & JOE FERNANDES
Friday, January 24 at 8pm
Jackie Byrne is a stand-up comic, actor and host who is known for being super fun, sassy and quick witted! She’s “the girl next door” with an expressive face and a Jersey attitude. Jackie brings her bubbly and spontaneous energy to audiences all over the country. Also hailing from NJ is comic, podcaster, and actor Joe Fernandes. When he is not escaping reality by hanging with his Welsh corgi on hiking trails, he can be found in comedy clubs making fun of his unrelenting confusion with life. Joe’s open book approach to comedy has an honest point of view that any audience can relate to.
PLAYMATE PLAYWRIGHTS PRESENT: LOVE CONQUERS
Saturday, February 8 at 8pm
An evening of six staged one-act play readings by Playmate Playwrights. The theme of the series titled, LOVE CONQUERS, was written by five playwrights, Jonathan Chiccino, Joanne Eisenberg, Meghan Malloy, Jennifer Nelson and Susan Sandor. There are enough shenanigans, belly laughs and a few sentimental journeys to savor. So, if you believe the play’s the thing, grab your Valentine for this love fest.
