Stoneham Theatre presents “Hockey Mom, Hockey Dad’’

The show, written by Michael Melski, stars real-life couple Danielle Perry and Gabriel Kuttner.

“When casting this show, I immediately thought of Danielle and Gabe,’’ said director Weylin Symes. “Both of them are great actors and the fact they were a couple only made the idea of casting them even more interesting to me. I knew I didn’t have to worry about their chemistry or believability as a couple.’’

He said the play is “a piece all about relationships and the intimacy that can form between two people.’’

The show features choreography by Ilyse Robbins, costume design by Susan Paino, lighting design by Christopher Ostrom, scenic design by Jenna McFarland Lord, and sound design by David Wilson.

Performances are Thursdays, 7:30 p.m.; Fridays, 8 p.m.; Saturdays, 4 and 8 p.m., and Sundays, 2 p.m. The theater is at 395 Main St., Stoneham. Tickets, $38 to $44; seniors $34 to $40; students $20. Friends of the Massachusetts Hockey League can purchase tickets for $39, and for each ticket bought, Stoneham Theatre will donate $5 to the buyer’s hockey club and $5 to the league’s Cheever Fund, which aims to increase participation in ice hockey.
