"BACHELORETTE" EXTENDS OFF BROADWAY RUN TO 8/14
Published 2010-07-22
Artistic director of Second Stage Theatre, Carole Rothman, announced today that the run of Leslye Headland's BACHELORETTE will be extended by one week (through August 14.) Directed by Trip Cullman, BACHELORETTE began previews on July 12 and will have its official opening on July 26th at the McGinn/Cazale Theatre.
On the eve of her wedding, Becky has arranged the perfect bachelorette celebration - but after two party crashers, one manipulative maid of honor, and a bathtub of booze, things don't go according to plan. This New York premiere play is a brutally comic look at friendship and betrayal on the way to the altar.
BACHELORETTE, the second play in the Second Stage Theatre Uptown Series 2010, features Tracee Chimo, Carmen M. Herlihy, Celia Keenan-Bolger, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Fran Kranz and Katherine Waterston.
Created as a program to help develop and provide exposure for the voices of a new generation of theatre artists, the Second Stage Theatre Uptown Series seeks to develop the skills of emerging playwrights, to provide early-career artists with the support of a major artistic institution, and to create new plays for the American Theatre. Each show has a limited rehearsal period, as well as a streamlined budget. The series has helped launch and advance the careers of several up-and-coming playwrights, including Rajiv Joseph (Pulitzer Prize finalist BENGAL TIGER AT THE BAGHDAD ZOO, ANIMALS OUT OF PAPER), Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (GOOD BOYS AND TRUE, HBO's 'Big Love'), Adam Bock (THE RECEPTIONIST, THE DRUNKEN CITY), and Brooke Berman (HUNTING AND GATHERING).
The series premiered in 2002 with three new American plays: ...IN THE ABSENCE OF SPRING..., written and directed by Joe Calarco; THE NOTEBOOK, written by Wendy Kesselman and directed by Evan Yionoulis; and Hunt Holman's SPANISH GIRL, directed by Erica Schmidt. Second Stage Theatre Uptown was on hiatus in 2003 due to theatre repairs. The 2004 season saw the New York premiere of Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's THE MYSTERY PLAYS, as well as Brooke Berman's THE TRIPLE HAPPINESS, starring Ally Sheedy. In 2005, the series presented the New York premiere of the critically acclaimed comedy SWIMMING IN THE SHALLOWS, written by Adam Bock and starring Logan Marshall-Green, as well as the world premiere of Dan O'Brien's THE DEAR BOY. The 2006 series featured two world premiere comedies: GETTING HOME, written by Anton Dudley and directed by David Schweizer, and Rajiv Joseph's ALL THIS INTIMACY, directed by Giovanna Sardelli. The 2007 series featured Marisa Wegrzyn's THE BUTCHER OF BARABOO, directed by Judith Ivey, and Joshua Tobiessen's ELECTION DAY, directed by Jeremy Dobrish. The 2008 series featured Carly Mensch's LEN, ASLEEP IN VINYL, directed by Jackson Gay, and Rajiv Joseph's ANIMALS OUT OF PAPER, directed by Giovanna Sardelli.
Last season's Uptown Series featured two world premiere plays: Zakiyyah Alexander's 10 THINGS TO DO BEFORE I DIE, directed by Jackson Gay, and Lila Rose Kaplan's WILDFLOWER, directed by Giovanna Sardelli.
The 2010 Uptown Series kicked off earlier this summer with the New York premiere of Michael Golamco's YEAR ZERO directed by Will Frears.
BACHELORETTE will be performed Off Broadway at the McGinn/Cazale Theatre (Broadway & 76th Street, 3rd floor) through Saturday, August 14 on the following schedule: Monday-Saturday at 7:30pm, Wednesday and Saturday at 2:00pm.
