The Swearing Jar August 14, 2010

The Bridge Theatre Company presents Kate Hewlett’s The Swearing Jar, winner of the 2008 Toronto Fringe Festival Best of Fringe and Best Ensemble, as part of the 14th annual New York International Fringe Festival – FringeNYC.

“You are the love of my life, you asshole.” Simon and Carey are the perfect couple. But when Carey performs at Simon’s fortieth birthday celebration, she is forced to come to terms with the greatest lie her husband ever told. The Swearing Jar is a smart comedy about marriage, music, migraines…and swearing. When the play premiered at the 2008 Toronto Fringe, it received five-stars from Eye Weekly and was named Outstanding New Play and Outstanding Production by NOW Magazine.

Rosemary Andress, director of the 2009 Independent Theater Bloggers Association Best Off-Off Broadway play Universal Robots, helms The Swearing Jar. The cast includes Kate Hewlett and Christopher Stanton, who recently performed in the Toronto smash hit revival of Assassins, Vincent Nappo and Mimi Quillin. The production team includes Ryan Seelig (set/lighting design), Joshua Sadlier-Brown (sound design) and Christina Hurtado (stage manager).
