Jersey City's 3S Theatre Collective Bring 'The Affair' to the Producer's Club

In an effort to bring their high-quality productions to the NYC scene, Jersey City’s 3S Theatre Collective will debut its first show of the new season, “The Affair in 22B,” at The Sonnet Theatre at The Producer’s Club. Previews begin on October 13th at 8 pm with an official opening three days later on the 16th, again at 8pm. This will mark the show’s Off-Broadway premiere only having played at Vital Theatre for a short time in the mid 80’s.
 
Written by Jay Christopher (aka Jack Kelly) in 1984, the play revolves around the relationship of the two main characters, Abbey and Paul, who share their lives in a run-down New York apartment, and who are looking to build a successful and meaningful relationship, though Paul’s eagerness towards conflict and negativity play an integral role in the downfall of the couple’s companionship. Theatergoers will enjoy the quality of the dialogue, as its unique style is personified by quirky scenes and even quirkier characters. 

“The Affair in 22B” will introduce Renee Rakel to NYC audiences as the female lead, Abbey. Casting for the role of Paul is underway with an announcement expected shortly.

“There’s a great story behind the play,” says Director Marc Eardley, founder of 3STC. “And with this venture we hope to create a home for future 3STC performances and invite audiences to experience a new chapter at The Producer’s Club.”

Other members of the show’s creative team include Stephen K. Dobay (set designer), Ryan Metzler (lighting designer) and Danielle Newell (Stage Manager). 

The show premieres at The Sonnet Theatre at The Producer’s Club, 358 West 44th Street, New York, NY on October 13th at 8 pm. “The Affair in 22B” will run until October 26th, with performances on Mondays at 8 pm, Tuesdays at 8 pm, Thursdays at 8 pm, Fridays at 8 pm, Saturdays at pm and 8 pm, and Sundays at 3 pm. Tickets will cost $27.50.
