New Jersey Stage 2016: Issue 2 | Page 88

Peter’s plan unravels when his wife tells him that she still loves him and wants to work things out. So, now he’s got a wife trying to hang on to a relationship, a girlfriend who issued the ultimatum to leave his wife or it’s all over, and another girl he’s seeing as well. You’ll have to see the world premiere of For Worse at New Jersey Repertory Company this March to see how it all works out. That is, if it does work out. The comedic play features Kristin Griffith, Ed Kershen, Daniela Mastropietro, and Angie Tennant. NewJerseyStage.com Evan Bergman returns to NJ Rep to direct the production, which is the first play of Rennard’s to be fully staged. Rennard began as an actress, portraying JR’s secretary on the hit television show Dallas for a decade and then worked as a producer before turning to writing. She says she always wanted to write, but didn’t think she had anything to say. With For Worse, she’s not only found her voice, she’s crafted a very funny play about a serious problem - one that she’s had personally experienced. 2016 - ISSUE 2 Table of Contents 88
