by Patricia Bradford

West Windsor, N.J. – Veteran actors whose career and twenty-year marriage are both fading provide a humorous and touching glimpse backstage. As Maurer Productions OnStage presents the Ed Dixon’s comedy “Scenery” at Mercer County Community College’s Kelsey Theatre.

Set in the star dressing room of the Belasco Theater, this comedy focuses on a pair of successful New York veteran actors, married for 20 years. The pair is facing both the decline of their craft's popularity and the evolution of their relationship as they prepare for and execute the opening night of a play neither has the heart for. This theatrical romp lets us laugh at and examine our definitions of art, marriage, and partnership.
