HARBOR

A New York City Premiere of a New Comedy

by Chad Beguelin

directed by Mark Lamos

 

When fifteen-year-old Lottie and her ne'er-do-well mother Donna drop in unannounced on the beautiful Sag Harbor home of Donna's brother and his new husband, all hell breaks loose. The bonds between kith and kin are tested in this alternately biting and touching comedy about the constantly shifting nature of the meaning of family. Harbor is from playwright Chad Beguelin, the author/lyricist of Broadway's The Wedding Singer and the lyricist for Elf; and Mark Lamos, the director of Primary Stages hits Black Tie, Indian Blood and Buffalo Gal. (At 59E59 Theaters)

BRONX BOMBERS

A World Premiere of a New Play

conceived by Fran Kirmser

written and directed by Eric Simonson

 

Join us for the world premiere of a new play from the creators of Broadway's Lombardi and the director of Primary Stages hit String of Pearls. Bronx Bombers tells the generational story of a most extraordinary baseball family, and the game itself. Follow the revered New York Yankees Yogi Berra as he struggles to keep the focus on the team, transgressing the tricky world of dreams, celebrity, and the ever-changing landscape of this beloved American pastime. (At The Duke on 42nd Street, a NEW 42ND STREET® project)

THE MODEL APARTMENT

First Major Revival

by Donald Margulies

directed by Evan Cabnet

 

Primary Stages is thrilled to revisit our acclaimed 1995 OBIE Award winner, The Model Apartment, by Pulitzer Prize winner Donald Margulies (Shipwrecked!, Time Stands Still, Dinner with Friends, Sight Unseen).  When Max and Lola, two Holocaust survivors from Brooklyn, retire to Florida, they find their new condo unfinished and are forced to spend the night in a “model apartment” where things are not always as they seem.  In this brilliant and bizarre Drama Desk-nominated black comedy, Max and Lola soon realize that if they ever want to truly “retire,” they must first confront the demons of their past.

 

 

 

 

JANUARY - MARCH, 2014

A WORLD PREMIERE COMEDY

written by and starring Charles Busch

directed by Carl Andress

 

Primary Stages is pleased to welcome back our favorite farceur Charles Busch, the author of Primary Stages hits You Should Be So Lucky and Olive and the Bitter Herbs, and Broadway's The Tale of the Allergist's Wife. This new comedy featuring Mr. Busch himself as an out-of-work female impersonator who, when his elderly landlady dies in her sleep, takes on her identity in order to hang on to her valuable Greenwich Village townhouse. This "perfect" scheme goes awry and leads to a wild path of twists and reversals plotted by an eccentric rogues gallery of outrageous schemers. Expect Busch's signature blend of quick-witted banter and gender-bending hijinks in this new play written specifically for Primary Stages from the master of Off-Broadway farce. (At 59E59 Theaters)
