Runway Theatre of Grapevine opens Crossing Delancey this week

by Shawn Parikh

Runway Theatre's 26th season is continuing this week with the opening of Crossing Delancey. The show will run from January 30 - February 15 and you can purchase tickets online or by calling 817-488-4842.

Written by Susan Sandler, this character-driven romantic comedy revolves around a New York City woman forced to choose between suitors and cultures. Isabelle is a thirty-something Jewish woman trying to find love in modern times. Her well-meaning and sharp-witted "Bubbie" hoodwinks her into pursuing the advice of a matchmaker. Izzy is torn between Tyler, a handsome, self-centered author, and Sam, a no-frills, traditional pickle shop owner who would draw her back to her family's faith.

Directed by Amanda G. Lindsey, the cast includes Melissa M. Hurta, Katrena Jonas-O'Toole, John Esquivel, Misty Baptiste, and Brock Klein.

And if you still haven't made plans for February 14th, the theater company is even offering a special Valentine's Day event for $20-25. The evening will consist of a special performance of Crossing Delancey, complimentary desserts and champagne, and a romantic ambience for that special someone. Tickets for this event can be purchased online.
