THE MARRIAGE ZONE Returns To Santa Monica Playhouse Starting Jan. 19

Thanks to robust audience and critical response, The Marriage Zone returns for an additional eleven weekends in 2019.

Cal and Beth are selling their home. They're visited by Skip and Ellie, an engaged couple, very much in love who are eager to buy their first home. They're joined by Mike and Liz, apparently a couple of lookie-loos who decided to drop by and take a peek at the house for sale. The three couples get to chatting and begin to marvel at just how much they have in common. WAY too much in common, in fact. So much in common that it begins to become surreal.

One couple is young, one couple is middle-aged, and one couple is mature. Yet their destinies seem to be strangely linked.

You are traveling to another dimension: A dimension of sight and sound and imagination. You are entering....The Marriage Zone.
