Cornelia Street Café has extended playwright Tulis McCall's critically lauded solo performance, Are You Serious? - A Woman of a Certain Age Inquires through February 2017.

Please arrive early to order food and/or drink. At the performer's request, there will be no service during the performance. Tickets are $20.00 collected in CASH at the door. This includes a $10 cover charge and $10 minimum. For reservations call: 212.989.9319. The historic Cornelia Street Café is in Greenwich Village at 29 Cornelia Street, between Bleecker and West 4th Streets.

From Are You Serious?: "If you are older than I, thank you for beating the bushes and leaving a trail," says McCall. "If you are younger than I, think of me as waiting for you on the other side of your mid-life crisis. If you are my peer, welcome to the Bar Car. Drinks are on the house."

Tulis McCall is the recipient of the 2016 Best Standup Award from 2016 UNITED SOLO and 2015 Best Storytelling Script Award from 2015 UNITED SOLO for All Aboard! She is the author of two previous one-person shows. What Everywoman Knows - A Historical Comedy featuring the true and often neglected stories of our foremothers - was produced at The Public Theatre in New York by Michael Moriarty and the Potters Field Theatre Company and at the West Coast Ensemble in Los Angeles by Dan Lauria, Joanna Kerns and Peter Gatien. McCall has toured this show to theatres, colleges and high schools in over 40 states. Her second one-person show, Running With Scissors - stories of contemporary urban lives - was directed by Philip Proctor of the Firesign Theatre and became Critic's Choice of both the L.A. Weekly and BackStage West. Since 2007, she has hosted Monologues and Madness, an evening of original work read by 12-15 actors, each month at the Cornelia Street Café in Greenwich Village.

McCall is the creator and editor of the theatre review site www.thefrontrowcenter.com (formerly www.ushernonsense.com) which now features 20 writers and covers over 300 shows per year.
