TRENTON—Open Book Theatre continues its season with This Random World by Steven Dietz and directed by Krista Schafer Ewbank, running from April 17 through May 16. Tickets are available online at openbooktheatrecompany.net.

Mining the comedy of missed connections, This Random World asks the serious question of how often we travel parallel paths through the world without noticing. From an ailing woman who plans one final trip, to her daughter planning one great escape and her son falling prey to a prank gone wrong, this funny, intimate, and heartbreaking play explores the lives that may be happening just out of reach of our own.
