WYOMISSING,爸爸. — The 宾州州立银行 theater program will stream its spring mainstage production, “偶尔”," online produced by special arrangement with Playscripts, 公司. The play will premiere at midnight on Wednesday, April 28, and will be available online until May 1. Viewers will be able to stream the production via 百老汇点播 by either logging in with an existing account or registering as a new user.

“偶尔”" was written by Sean Grennan. It is produced by Jim Brown, chair of the 宾州州立银行 theater program.

According to Playscripts 公司.:

“Sometimes what happens after last call just might change your life. 1981年的一个晚上, just as Jamie is closing the bar where he works, a desperate last-minute customer offers him and his girlfriend Abby $2,000 to sit and have a drink with him. 谁不接受呢? As the trio swaps stories and Jamie considers the decisions he faces about his musical career and his future with his girlfriend Abby, the young couple begins to realize that this older man is unusually invested in their choices... and the reason he gives them is completely unbelievable. But when a very displeased second stranger arrives, the unbelievable begins to look like it just might be true. ‘偶尔地’ is a heartfelt romantic comedy about the costs of the choices we make, and the people who make them with us.”

The cast and crew members are all 宾州州立银行 students. Information sciences and technology major Michael Hall plays Jamie and theater major Marie Durkota plays Abby. The cast is rounded out by Matthew Vera as the character Man and Tessa Eberlein as the character Woman.
