Bayonne actor starring in New York play

BAYONNE – Actor Dan Gregory of Bayonne is one of the stars of “When the Ripe Fruit Falls,” a one-act play in New York City for five nights in July and August.
A drama inspired by a D.H. Lawrence poem, the story revolves around “Poppy,” an alcoholic grandfather (played by James Crafford), “Jeannie,” his intellectual granddaughter (Dana Levin), and “Tommy,” her animated, yet-good natured boyfriend (Gregory).
Levin is a former Bayonne resident. Crafford is also the playwright and director.
The show will run at the American Theater of Actors, 314 West 54th St., from Wednesday, July 29 to Sunday, Aug. 2. Wednesday through Saturday performances are at 8 p.m. and Sunday is at 3 p.m.
Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at the door. Half of the proceeds will benefit the Wounded Warriors Foundation.
