J’e Caryous Johnson & Love Overboard

Love Overboard has recently hit the stage and is the 16th play by Je’ Caryous Johnson.

His first play was written in high school, and now, at the age of 31, he is an acclaimed playwright, CEO of I’m Ready Productions and a four-time national championship playwright.

Johnson first became known for taking famous novels and adapting them into play format, but later he moved further along in writing and began to create his own novels to go along with his plays. Earlier productions include Men, Money & Gold Diggers and Whatever She Wants. He currently fills the roles of playwright, director, and producer, not t0 mention being CEO as well.

In Love Overboard, Johnson tells a story that takes place aboard a cruise ship, The S.S. Love & Happiness. on board is The Captain, a man who seems to be more obsessed with women than he is with piloting his ship. A Married Couple are two of the passengers, who have come on the cruise to reawaken their once passionate relationship. Also on board is a Divorced Man, who has come to celebrate his new-found independence. An Overly Spiritual Woman als has a ticket, and is hoping to find Mr. Right, and with her is her Best Friend, who would rather date men with a ring on their finger.

After the list of passengers, little more needs to be said about this 16th play from this famous playwright. Be sure to get your Love Overboard tickets soon, the national tour is making its rounds of American cities, it will soon be leaving Pittsburgh for Baltimore.
