'The Meaning of Life' Starts July 9th

By:

A genuine slice of life, THE MEANING OF LIFE tells the story of a small group of friends as they look for love in New York City.  It is a humorous and touching exploration of what happens once academia has vanished and the real world appears.  The play follows a small group of twenty-somethings in NYC as their journey from who they were, to who they are - in constant pursuit of who they are destined to be.

Written and Directed by Matte O'Brien and Conceived by Lee Ann Gullie and Matte O'Brien. Featuring Shannon Michael Algeo, Seth Danner, Alex Herrald, Erin Kukla, Joe Tannenabum, and Shannon Tyo.

Wed-Fri (July 9-12, July 15-18) @ 8PM, Sun, July 13 @ 2PM, July 19 @ 2PM and 8PM at the 45th Street Theatre (354 W. 45th St. between 8th & 9th Ave).
