REBECCA GILMAN’S CHILLER, “BOY GETS GIRL,” ON STAGE AT WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY OCTOBER 17 T0 25

“Boy Gets Girl,” Rebecca Gilman’s popular and thought-provoking drama, will be presented at William Paterson University’s Hunziker Black Box Theatre in Wayne from October 17 to 25. Elizabeth Stroppel, assistant professor of communication, will direct.

The cast is comprised of William Paterson University students and faculty members. Students are: Travis Garcia of Boonton as “Tony,” Sara Parise of Westerly, R.I. as “Madeleine Beck,” Latoya Pinckney of Paterson as “Harriet,” Rob Traegler of Hamilton Square as “Mercer Stevens,” and Sue Weinberger of Mahwah as “Theresa Bedell.” Jay Ludwig of Kinnelon, a William Paterson professor of communication, will play “Les Kennkat.”

“Boy Gets Girl” is a dark and sometimes disturbing view of contemporary, urban single life. The suspenseful tale reveals the unraveling of a strong woman’s sense of security. What seems like an innocuous blind date quickly turns sour when persistence turns into terror and romantic pursuit becomes obsession.

Show times for “Boy Gets Girl” are 8 p.m., October 17, 18, 22, 23, 24, 25; 6 p.m. on October 19; and 12:30 p.m. on October 23. Tickets are $10, $7 for senior citizens. For directions or to purchase tickets, please call the Shea Center Box Office at 973-720-2371.
