TAP Taps Into Online Dating

The Third Avenue Playhouse (TAP) and Riverway Studio of East Haddam present Methuselah’s Guide to Online Dating (For Those With Reading Glasses) starring Todd Little, Ira Sakolsky, Becca Atkins, Suzanne Powers, and Elijah Manning, June 18 – July 3. Methuselah’s Guide takes a comic look at the world of online dating based on the improvisational theatrical techniques developed by Paul Sills and Viola Spolin. A cast of five will explore the pleasures (and pains) of online dating as practiced by people of a “certain age.” Methuselah’s Guide includes an original score by Ira Sakolsky.

Created by Todd Alan Little and Ira Sakolsky, this hilarious and touching look at the search for love in the digital age will make you laugh, cry, and maybe feel like you are not alone.

Tickets are available at the TAP box office or online at thirdavenueplayhouse.com. General admission is $25 and students 14 – 24 are $10. Methuselah’s Guide contains adult situations and is not suitable for children 13 and under.

Opening July 9 at TAP is Stage Door Theater Co.’s Educating Rita by Willy Russell. This production, directed by Robert Boles and starring Katherine Duffy and Drew Brhel, will be performed through July 25. A “pay what you can preview” will be performed on July 8 at 7:30 pm.
