Photo Flash: 'Stain' Premieres Off-Broadway

Theatricals presented the world premiere of Tony Glazer's new play STAIN, directed by Scott C. Embler. STAIN will begin performances on Friday, July 11, open on July 23 and run through August 23, 2008 at The Kirk at Theatre Row (410 West 42 Street). The opening night party was held at ANGUS (W 44th Street).
