Now playing at New Jersey Repertory Company theater in Long Branch is Allison Gregory’s Wild Horses. This world premiere will play at 179 Broadway through March 25, 2018.
Wild Horses is a one woman play directed by SuzAnne Barabas. It stars Estelle Bajou who previously appeared at the NJ Rep last season in The Jag. The play is described as:
. . . a coming-of-age story about a time when anything was possible, when the world was full of promise, young love was still a fantasy, and a group of 13 year-olds who recognize injustice can throw caution to the wind and take the initiative to act upon it. A savagely-funny play about a summer that changed an adolescent girl forever, told by her grown-up self. The pathos and hubris of her teenage years, the struggle for identity, independence, and authenticity, and the desire to find one’s place in a complicated world — all come rushing at us as she takes us on the ride of her life.
Wild Horses is set in a Tastee-Freeze-turned karaoke bar in Anywhere, U.S.A. in 1996. There is a pre-show Karaoke performance that begins 30 minutes before the start of the play. The singers are professionals who sing at each performance. This video gives a sample of what takes place.
