River Rep is certainly no stranger to romance.
Over the past 19 seasons, many a match has been made both on and off our stage; in fact, several season selections have been chosen with a particular couple in mind.
So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that Producing
Director and founding member Jenn Thompson
married longtime love Artistic Associate Stephen
Kunken (Sherlock Holmes, All
My Sons, etc.) this past September 17th. Jenn
and Steve, who met in 1998 playing opposite each other
at the Pittsburgh Public Theatre, have appeared together
many times on the Ivoryton stage and, in true River
Rep fashion, have each taken turns directing one another
in both The Heiress and Proof.
Jenn & Steve
The simple ceremony took place on a beach in Fenwick,
the private borough largely noted for being the summer
home of legendary actress Katharine Hepburn.

by 75 of their friends and family River Rep alum Jeff
Talbott (Sherlock Holmes, A Comedy of Errors,
etc.) officiated while River Rep web designer Michael
Ebert played his soprano sax — even local critic and
part-time minister Tom Nisley stopped by to bless the
newlyweds. Here’s to a long run!
