Marc Eardley directs Jay Christopher's 1984 play, which marks the Off-Broadway debut for the New Jersey-based theatre company 3S Theatre Collective. The Affair in 22B will officially open Oct. 16 and continue through Oct. 25.

Halbach and Rakel star in the two-hander, which according to production notes, "revolves around the relationship of the two main characters, Abbey and Paul, who share their lives in a run-down New York apartment, and who are looking to build a successful and meaningful relationship, though Paul's eagerness towards conflict and negativity plays an integral role in the downfall of the couple's companionship."

The creative team includes Stephen K. Dobay (set design) and Ryan Metzler (lighting design).

STC has previously presented the Andrew Lippa concert Welcome to the World and the recent New Jersey production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch with MAC winner Jonathan Whitton.
