THEATRE: Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune - Ad Astra Theatre

Title: Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune

Presented By: Ad Astra Theatre Company

Genre: Romantic Comedy / Drama

Synopsis: To celebrate the opening of their brand-new black box theatre, Pluto, Ad Astra presents Terrence McNally’s tender and hilarious two-hander Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune.

Set in a modest New York apartment, this modern classic follows a waitress and a short-order cook as they navigate one extraordinary night that could change their lives. Between laughter, intimacy, and vulnerability, Frankie and Johnny is a funny, aching portrait of two lonely hearts daring to believe in love — even when life has taught them not to.
