Two River Theater
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Two River Theater is an ultra-modern theater located on the Navesink River in Red Bank, New Jersey. It opened in April or September 2005. It features performances of professional plays, as well as musicians.
The main theater seats 350 people, and features a modern lighting system. The futuristic lobby features 40-foot-high glass walls. The smaller Marion Huber Theater is also housed in the complex.
The Two River Theater Company was founded by Dr. Robert Rechnitz in 1995. Before the construction of the Theater, shows were held at the Algonquin Theatre in Manasquan, New Jersey. The Company's Aristic Director is Aaron Posner, formerly of Philadelphia's Arden Theatre.
The 2006-2007 season included productions of Fats Waller's Ain't Misbehavin', a modern Texas setting of Moliere's comedy Tartuffe, the Pulitzer Prize-nominated play The Pavillion, directed by Posner, Sam Shepard's True West, directed by Robert Rechnitz, and Steve Martin's adaptation of The Underpants.
Making reference to popular music, Bon Jovi performed a two-hour set at the theatre in 2005 [1]. Bruce Springsteen filmed his VH1 Storytellers special at the theater, [2] which can be seen on his subsequent VH1 Storytellers DVD.
