Act II Playhouse to Stage World Premiere of ON THE ROAD AGAIN

Philly's favorite comedic couple teams up again! Act II Playhouse in Ambler presents the world premiere of On the Road Again,Artistic Director Tony Braithwaite and Jennifer Childs' newest comedy cabaret. The show, a co-production with Philadelphia's 1812 Productions, is on stage in Ambler from Jan. 12-31, 2016.

On the Road Again looks at travel, vacations, and that need to get away from it all. This hilarious new show features skits, songs, and improv comedy.

"I am so excited to be performing again with Jen Childs in this brand new - and funny - show," Braithwaite said. "We're cracking ourselves up in rehearsals, which is always a good sign."

Skits include "Celebrity GPS," where Tony and Jen will perform impressions of celebrities as if they were giving driving instructions, and the return of TB and Jenny, a faux cruise ship lounge act.

This is Tony and Jen's third comedy cabaret. The two previous shows, Let's Pretend We're Married and Let's Pretend We're Famous, both premiered at 1812 Productions in Philadelphia, where Childs is Producing Artistic Director, and then had subsequent sold-out runs at Act II Playhouse.
