Molly Ringwald to Lead TERMS OF ENDEARMENT Off-Broadway This Fall

Stage and screen vet Molly Ringwald will play Aurora Greenway in TERMS OF ENDEARMENT, which is coming to the stage for the first time in the US at 59E59 Theaters.

Ringwald returns to the NY stage after successful turns in Cabaret and Enchanted April on Broadway and Off Broadway in Lily Dale, Jonathan Larson's Tick, Tick...Boom! and Modern Orthodox, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning How I Learned to Drive.

At the age of 13, Molly received a Golden Globe nomination for her first film, Paul Mazursky's Tempest, and went on to star in numerous films, including The Pick-Up Artist, For Keeps, Fresh Horses, Betsy's Wedding, Cindy Sherman's directorial debut Office Killer, Billy Bob Thornton's short film Some Folks Call It a Sling Blade, and the iconic movies Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Pretty in Pink.

TERMS OF ENDEARMENT traces the relationship between a highly opinionated mother and her feisty daughter as they seek to find humor and courage in the face of life's challenges. This funny and touching story about love captures the delicate, and sometimes fractured, bonds between mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, and lovers both old and new.

TERMS OF ENDEARMENT by Dan Gordon, based on the book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Larry McMurtry and the Oscar-winning screenplay by James L. Brooks, is directed by Michael Parva and produced by The Directors Company, Julian Schlossberg, and Roy Furman in association with Invictus Theater Company and GR8 Theatricals.

Performances begin on Saturday October 29 for a limited engagement through Sunday, December 11 at 59E59 Theaters (59 East 59th Street, between Park and Madison Avenues). Tickets are $25 - $70 ($25 - $49 for 59E59 Members). To purchase tickets, call Ticket Central at (212) 279-4200 or visit www.59e59.org.

More casting and opening night details will be announced soon.
