WEST ORANGE, NJ — Luna Stage presents the world premiere of “Old Love New Love,” a new play by Laura Brienza. “Old Love New Love,” the final show in the company’s 2016-2017 season, is a funny, moving and life-affirming play about the challenges of caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease. The cast of seven is led by Emmy Award-winning actress Kim Zimmer.
“Old Love New Love” opens to previews Thursday, April 7, and runs Thursdays through Sundays until May 8. Opening night is Friday, April 15.
The play tells the story of a mother and a daughter navigating the choppy waters of infidelity under very different circumstances: Gloria’s husband, Colin, has fallen for another Alzheimer’s patient at the facility where he resides. Michelle’s husband, Matt, has strayed after losing a local election and wrestling with his unfulfilled ambitions. A play about what we can’t remember and what we can forgive, “Old Love New Love” celebrates the lengths we go to in order to honor the lives of those we have loved.
Joining Zimmer in the cast of “Old Love New Love” are Ava Eisenson, Alfred Gingold, Christopher Halladay, Jane Mandel, Claire Mcclanahan and Thomas Molyneaux.
Individual tickets can be purchased at lunastage.org, or at the box office Tuesday through Friday, from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Call 973-395-5551. Luna Stage is located at 555 Valley Road in West Orange. The theater is handicapped accessible and offers assistive listening devices.
