A new play, F Theory, begins today at the NJ Repertory Company. F Theory is a funny yet poignant play about the power and complexity of lifelong friendship. This new production runs through September 24, 2017 at 179 Broadway, Long Branch, New Jersey.
Co-written by and starring Megan Loughran and Alex Trow, F Theory is directed by Ethan Heard. Press notes about the play include the following description:
When we first meet them, Marianne (Trow) and Ellie (Loughran) are bright, charming college roommates prone to break out in spontaneous tap dance routines in the middle of study sessions. They come from very different backgrounds and are headed into very different futures—wealth, marriage, and anthropological adventures for one; family troubles, solo living, and a career as a musician for the other. But the bond they forged on meeting is that rare sort that transcends all circumstance and thrives across time; even across several continents in their case. Or does it? What happens when you realize that the friendship you have valued on the merit of its fortitude through decades, means something else entirely to the person on the other end? F Theory gives center stage to friendship, a relationship often sidelined in both art and life to family, romance, and marriage, though it is often stronger than them all.
Megan Loughran and Alex Trow are actors and writers based in New York City. They met at Yale University from which they both graduated. Director Ethan Heard is also a graduate of Yale. Also featured in the cast is Pheonix Vaughn, a regular at NJ Rep, who will be performing the role of Marianne, September 16 – 17.
