NJ Rep to Premiere Dan Lauria's DINNER WITH THE BOYS, 9/11-10/5

Dan Lauria, star of TV's The Wonder Years and Sullivan & Son as well as Broadway's Lombardi and the hit musical A Christmas Story, pens a killer comedy about a couple of old-time wise guys who just want to have a good Italian meal, a few laughs, and tie-up some loose ends before dessert.

Dinner With The Boys, directed by Frank Megna, begins preview performances on Thursday, September 11 and celebrates its opening night on Saturday, September 13 at New Jersey Repertory Company (179 Broadway, Long Branch, NJ), and runs through Sunday, October 5. Tickets may be purchased by calling 732-229-3166 or online at www.njrep.org.
