Raves and Dates for Jerker

Heading into Provincetown’s legendary Carnival Week, after our smashing opening of Robert Chesley’s controversial classic Jerker, tickets continue a brisk uptick and the raves keep pouring in..

“Unabashed, erotic, and surprisingly tender. A bold choice for the Provincetown Theater, beyond the raw sexuality and nudity in the performance… Jerker is theater that challenges, and that's always a good thing. Above all else Jerker is masterfully acted by Joe MacDougall and Stephen Walker.” – Steve Desroches, Provincetown Magazine

“The Provincetown Theater’s Jerker emerges at a time when human connections are in tatters. As time-specific as Jerker is, it feels timeless. That’s because it’s sensitively and thoughtfully conceived and executed, as directed by the company’s David Drake and performed by Joe MacDougall and Stephen Walker. The effect is hypnotic.” – Howard Karren, Provincetown Independent

“Jerker is a riveting eye-opening, 90-minute drama with full-frontal nudity that’s never gratuitous or salacious. The only voyeurism that happens is observing the growing love between the two characters. Fascinating and poignant… watching Jerker is as intimate an experience as the viewer will ever get short of having the experience themselves. Masterful. The best of humanity is on display.” – Shannon Goheen, Cape Cod Times

Indeed, you don’t wanna miss our New England Premiere of Robert Chesley's bold, hypnotic, masterful love story, Jerker.

And, specific to this week, we’ve got a special performance schedule. To make way for the return of a live Carnival Parade on Thursday, Aug 18 (Wooo-hooo!) we’ve adjusted our show dates for Jerker. This week (Aug 15 -19), the play will perform on Mon, Tue, Wed and Friday at 7pm. Click below to nab your seats today!
