Two Comedies Added for Long Wharf This Sping

Long Wharf Theatre announces a pair of hilariously intelligent comedies this spring playing on the Mainstage.

Assume the Position starring Robert Wuhl Feb. 18-20

Emmy Award-winner Wuhl (“Arli$$,” Bull Durham, HBO) kicks off the LWT Extras spring series with Assume The Position. Based on a hit HBO special, Wuhl becomes the history teacher you never had (but wished you did)! Join him for an irreverent comedic history lesson that playfully examines some of the facts, myths, and myths-that-became-facts that have permeated American history.

Assume the Position plays on the Mainstage from Feb. 18-20, with shows on Friday, Feb. 18 at 8 pm, Saturday, Feb. 19 at 8 pm and Sunday, Feb. 20 at 2 pm.

You Say Tomato and I Say Shut UpBy Annabelle Gurwitch and Jeff Kahn March 18-20
“We’re just not that into us,” proclaim real-life married couple Annabelle Gurwitch (“Seinfeld”, NPR) and Emmy Award winner Jeff Kahn (The 40 Year Old Virgin) in the hilarious and ultimately moving new play entitled You Say Tomato and I Say Shut Up, based on a memoir of their marriage. This hilarious “he-said, she-said” show proves that all you need is love and a healthy dose of complaining, co-dependence, and Pinot Noir.

You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up will play from March 18-20, with shows on Friday, March 18 at 8 pm., Saturday, March 19 at 3 pm. and 8 pm. and Sunday, March 20 at 2 pm.
