The New Jersey Repertory Company will present the world premiere of Michael Tucker’s (LA Law, Radio Days) comedy A Tailor Near Me. Directed by James Glossman, the show stars Tony nominee Richard Kind (East New York; Curb Your Enthusiasm) and James Pickens, Jr. (Grey’s Anatomy; X-Files). This limited run begins on July 27 in advance of its July 29 opening night and runs through August 27, 2023.
In A Tailor Near Me, a man goes to a tailor to have his suit pants let out because he’s gained some weight since he last wore them. The tailor convinces him that what he really needs is a new suit, which leads to a negotiation, which leads to the making of a bespoke suit, which leads to alterations in both of their lives.
Tickets may be purchased online at njrep.org or by phone at 732-229-3166. NJREP is located at 179 Broadway, Long Branch, New Jersey. A Tailor Near Me will play Thursdays and Fridays at 8 pm, Saturdays at 3 pm and 8 pm, and Sundays at 2 pm. There are special added matinees on Friday, August 11, 18, and 25 at 3 pm.
