POETIC LICENSE 2W & 2M with Modern Set. A gritty drama in which a potential poet laureate is confronted by his past - a past which could threaten both his career and his family. Current Productions: Past Productions: New Jersey Repertory Company REVIEWS "Anything there is to be told about Poetic License can only detract from the pleasure of discovering this play for oneself. Jack Canfora's new play is a light entertainment whose devices are most effective when they catch one by surprise." -- Bob Rendell, Talkin' Broadway "When the first act of a new play holds the audience captive, as it does in “Poetic License,” a drama by Jack Canfora at New Jersey Repertory Company in Long Branch, one cannot help becoming excited by the possibility that a major hit could be unfolding." -- Stephen Wells, The New York Times "Jack Canfora follows the dysfunctional family recipe in faithful fashion, adding just enough spicy twists to satisfy the curiosity of the voyeurs at the fourth wall." --Asbury Park Press |

PLACE SETTING 3W & 3M with Modern Set. Andrea is happily married to Greg. Greg's brother Len proposes to Charlotte who is really in love with Gregg. Laura's date Richard is a film-maker about to make a movie proving Ulysses S Grant was gay. Current Productions: Past Productions: New Jersey Repertory Company REVIEWS "What separates "Place Setting" from daytime TV, though, is that Canfora has wonderfully incisive wit -- and he tells the truth about how 21st century men and women view relationships and marriages." -- Peter Filichia, The Star Ledger "Mr. Canfora has created familiar — but not clichéd — characters. We have met all these people, kept on their toes by unusually punchy writing. Laced with fast-fl ying zingers, Place Setting, if anything, suffers from too many good one liners..." - New York Times "Place Setting boasts sharp, crisp, and richly humorous dialogue. Its story and recognizable characters engage our interest and emotions throughout (even though most of the characters are supremely selfish)." -- Bob Rendell, Talkin' Broadway "...cleverly constructed and smartly written..." -- Simon Saltzman, A Curtain Up |
