Next Act Theatre is presenting this engaging stage production about two lifelong best friends navigating a pivotal moment in their lives. Set in 1990s New York City, the story follows Zalmy and Shmuel, Orthodox Jewish teens who work together in a community outreach van. When a new person enters their world and introduces Zalmy to rock and roll and roller skating, tension builds between the friends as they grapple with different visions for their futures. This is a funny and touching exploration of growing up, feeling like an outsider, and the bonds that hold us together during uncertain times. The show runs about 90 minutes. Tickets range from $20 for students to $50 for adults, with discounts available for seniors, educators, military members, and veterans. Rush tickets are $27 if purchased within 30 minutes of showtime. For questions or to purchase tickets, reach out to the theater directly.
