LUCKY ME, A National New Play Network WORLD PREMIERE By Robert Caisley, at NJ REP

From the playwright who brought us Happy comes a whimsical, romantic comedy about love, aging, crackedwindows, broken bones, airport security, and bad luck.  Sara Fine is having a bad week. The light bulbs in her apartment keep burning out; the aquarium is perpetually full of dead fish; the cat’s gone AWOL, again, and her blind, elderly father -- who chased off her last beau -- is immediately suspicious of Tom, the new neighbor, a TSA agent who just brought Sara home from the emergency room on New Year’s Eve with a fractured 5th metatarsal. As Tom’s attraction to Sara intensifies, he learns of an increasingly bizarre streak of bad luck that’s been haunting Sara for years – twenty two years to be precise.

Lucky Me begins preview performances on Thursday, July 31 and celebrates its opening night on Saturday, August 2 at New Jersey Repertory Company (179 Broadway, Long Branch, NJ), and runs through Sunday, August 31. Tickets may be purchased by calling 732-229-3166 or online at www.njrep.org.
