This year their season includes:
Don't Go Gentle, Really Really & Small Engine Repair - they all look great.

The SubmissionSep 27-Nov 4, 2012
World Premiere
Don't Go Gentle
by Stephen Belber
with David Wilson Barnes, Maxx Brawer, Michael Cristofer, Angela Lewis, Jennifer Mudge
directed by Lucie Tiberghien

“Belber tells stories with wit, humanity and richly drawn characters.”
-NY Daily News


Judge Lawrence Driver: conservative powerhouse on the bench, failure at home. Now retired, widowed, and seeking redemption, Lawrence volunteers to do pro bono legal work with Tanya, a vulnerable ex-con with a troubled teenage son, while working to repair the increasingly complicated relationships with his own adult children. But do-overs don’t come easy, and when his newfound generosity is perceived as condescension, Lawrence runs the risk of losing everything.

A world premiere by Stephen Belber, an MCC Theater Playwrights' Coalition member, whose chronicles of moral ambiguity include TapeDusk Rings a Bell, and Match on Broadway. Acclaimed director Lucie Tiberghien, a frequent collaborator with Belber, directed his playGeometry of Fire at the Rattlestick Theater. She most recently directed the West Coast premiere of Blood and Gifts at the La Jolla Playhouse. The cast features David Wilson Barnes (Becky Shaw), newcomer Maxx Brawer, Michael Cristofer (NBC’s “Smash”), Angela Lewis (Milk Like Sugar), and Jennifer Mudge (The Philanthropist).
