Opening Weekend: High Fidelity
October 4, 5 & 6 | Showtimes Vary
Haddonfield Plays & Players, Haddonfield

The show follows the adventures of Rob, a record store owner who knows almost everything there is to know about pop music, but almost nothing about how to keep a girl. Rob’s love life, already a broken record of heartache, falls off the charts completely when he gets dumped by Laura. But that just sets him up for a romantic comeback. The show runs at Haddonfield Plays and Players from now through October 20th.
