There are many reasons to go see the production of “Bob & Jean, A Love Story,” now playing at the Bay Street Theater. The new play by Robert Schenkkan (who attended this performance) opened to a standing ovation this past weekend and will run until June 15th. It is the first show of Bay Street Theater’s 2025 MainStage season. This production of “Bob & Jean” is a triumph. The crowd stood and applauded this “love story” celebration because they felt something special was happening on stage—something magical that marks the birth of a successful new play.
