For additional information or to purchase tickets, please call the Shea Center Box Office at 973-720-2371. Produced with critical and popular success by New York's Lincoln Center Theatre, Howard Korder's "Boys' Life" traces the misadventures of three former college buddies who make their way in the big city. The play "puts sexual insecurity among under-30 males under the microscope, and the result is a satisfying and thoughtful work by a fresh playwriting voice," said Variety. Featured in the cast are Tommy Drogon of Wayne and Virginia Kamenitizer of Haledon, both William Paterson alumni. Students include Raechel Heffers of Manahawkin, Michael Lieberman of Midland Park, Gaby (Maria) Ortega of Miami, FL, Oscar Ramirez of North Bergen, and Monica C. Trim of Parsippany. Paul C. Reisman, a high school senior from Wyckoff, is also a member of the cast. Matthews is a graduate of the State University of New York at Plattsburgh, and holds a master's degree from Idaho State University and a master of fine arts degree in directing/acting from Sarah Lawrence College. He has more than 15 years of experience as a professional lighting designer for metropolitan area theatre productions. William Paterson University, one of the
nine state colleges and universities in New Jersey, offers 30
undergraduate and 18 graduate programs through five colleges:
