In a time when empathy and understanding are more crucial than ever, “Gruesome Playground Injuries” seeks to foster connection and dialogue. Art House Productions will engage the community by hosting post-show Q&A sessions with the creative team, and mental health specialists.
“We are excited to bring ‘Gruesome Playground Injuries’ to Jersey City,” says Meredith Burns, Executive Artistic Director of Art House Productions. “This production resonates with our mission to present thought-provoking and impactful theater.” Gruesome Playground Injuries” is a fast-paced, intense, and darkly comic
“play by Rajiv Joseph. It tells the story of Kayleen and Doug, two friends whose lives are intertwined through a series of injuries that bring them together. Spanning ages 8 to 38, the play follows their relationship as they navigate life’s challenges, sometimes leaning on each other too much, occasionally causing harm, and often struggling to ask for help. Its non-chronological structure allows the audience to piece together their attraction while exploring themes of lost love, pain, regret, and how injuries can map a lifetime. Joseph highlights the complexity and messiness of life, reminding us that it becomes a bit easier with someone by our side.
