The Clare Rose Playhouse Presents "Alone Together"

Alone Together, by Lawrence Roman, is a two-act play that resembles those classic Broadway comedies of the 50s and 60s. After their children have finally left home, a middle-aged couple, George and Helene Butler, are alone together. However, their empty nest does not stay vacant for long, as all three sons come stumbling back home after experiencing struggles in the real world. Throughout the play, George and Helene battle to push their sons out again.

Individual tickets for this show are priced at $15; $12 for students and seniors. Show times are 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and 3 p.m. on Sundays. For more information, call the box office at 631.654.0199.

The Clare Rose Playhouse, which serves as a major teaching facility for the College’s theater courses, is accessible via the South Service Road of Sunrise Highway, just east of Exit 52 (Waverly Avenue) in Patchogue, on the northeast corner of the campus of St. Joseph’s College. A former cottage converted in 1985 through the generosity and guidance of the man for whom it is named, the Playhouse serves as a major teaching facility for the College’s theater courses and a training ground for young actors. The Playhouse is the site of community theater productions of musicals, dramas, comedies, cabaret acts, musical performances, dance troupes and comedians.
