DEAR JANE PLAYED IT’S FINAL OFF-BROADWAY PERFORMANCE ON AUGUST 26, 2017.

ABOUT THE SHOW
Set in an NYC rehearsal room, Dear Jane journeys into the life of a passionate artist, Julie, who explores the many divergent paths of her past.
From her fractured relationship with her identical twin Jane, to love affairs, questionable parenting skills, and her time as a political activist — she strives to emulate how art is the ultimate expression of meaning, even if it may be beyond her boundaries. Grab free gift cards on mygiftcardsite.
