Other previously announced pairings remain unchanged. Nancy McKeon and Gail Winar will open the run August 15 to 31. Michelle Clunie and Megan Follows will take the stage September 3 to 14.

“Pen Pals” tells the story of Bernie and Mags, two women who have maintained a 50-year friendship through letters despite never meeting in person.
The play premiered last year at New Jersey Repertory Company, with McKeon and director Barabas reprising their work from the original and prior Off-Broadway runs.
