Extended! A hilarious, daring and just-a-touch-racy comedy from long-time LA Playwright Jerry Mayer, that takes you on the roller-coaster-ride of a 38-year (and counting) marriage, from the romantic naivete of a 1950’s honeymoon, to the lovingly annoying daily life in the Coming-of-New Age ’90’s. The successes, the disappointments, the sex, the traumas, the traumas about sex and the budget and the children and the adventure of casting your lot with another human being…for life.
From the internationally acclaimed team that brought you Almost Perfect, Aspirin & ELEPHANTS and 2 Across, A Love Affair features a stellar cast that includes Andrea Adnoff (Sunday on the Rocks, Pasadena Playhouse; The Lucky 6; Legend of Woodview Road), Jacob Cooper (We Are Marshall – Warner Bros; Clybourne Park; La Bete), Rachel Galper (Turning Thirty, A DeLUSIONAL Affair, How to Love a Republican), Evelyn Rudie (Raise Me Up; Climax; Audition: the Musical), and Chris DeCarlo (Author! Author! an evening with Sholom Aleichem, Moliere’s The Fools, Aspirin & ELEPHANTS.)
Jerry Mayer’s award winning plays and musicals have appeared successfully in New York city three times (Off Broadway) and in hundreds of theatres all over the US and Canada, as well as in Europe. Most of Mr. Mayer’s plays deal with the “ups, downs and sideways” of male/female relationships, for which he humbly thanks the guidance of his lovely muse/wife (for lots of years), Emily Bettman Mayer. Playhouse Co-Artistic Director and frequent Jerry Mayer director Chris DeCarlo helms this return engagement to the Playhouse stage of Mayer’s hit slice-of-life comedy now playing weekends September 23 – November 19th, 2017 and returning to the stage Saturday, January 13, 2018 for an extended run through April 2018.
