Three solo performance pieces, written by Jonathan Citron, Humpty Dumpty, Voices, and La Vie Perdue, will be performed by Theater Project members Gary Glor and Rick Delaney, who will also serve as directors. The Theater Project is a professional theater company, which, until recently, was located at Union County College’s Cranford campus. Humpty Dumpty tells the true story of the conspiracy that led to that magnificent egg, Humpty Dumpty, being left on a wall. In Voices, the narrator tells the story of writing his second novel—his first having been a bestseller—and the lengths he will go to in order to create his next opus. He, himself, proves his own worst enemy. La Vie Perdue is a dark tale about the return by ship of an ex-pat after many years abroad to an uncertain future back home in the United States. Jonathan R. Citron has had his one-act plays, full-length plays, and monologues performed and read at the American Place Theatre, Theatre Resources Unlimited in New York, the New Jersey Voices Festival in Chatham, the Theater Project, and at Tierney's in Montclair. His one-act play, Waiting for the Bus, was selected as a finalist at New York’s Turnip Theatre Company festival. The three readings will be followed by a discussion among the directors/actors, the author and the audience. The Theatre Project presentation is sponsored by the Friends of the Cranford Public Library.
