Playwrights Horizons will present the World Premiere production of GRAND CONCOURSE, a new play by playwright and two-time Obie Award-winning actress Heidi Schreck (There Are No More Big Secrets, Creature). Directed by Kip Fagan (The Revisionist, Asuncion), the play is the second production of the acclaimed theater company's 2014/2015 Season. The company just met the press, and BroadwayWorld brings you photos below!
GRAND CONCOURSE will begin previews Friday evening, October 17 at 8PM with an Opening Night set for Wednesday, November 12 at 7PM. The limited engagement will play through Sunday evening, November 30, at Playwrights Horizons' Peter Jay Sharp Theater (416 West 42nd Street).
Completing the cast is Ismenia Mendes (Your Mother's Copy of the Kama Sutra at PH; The Wayside Motor Inn), who joins Obie Award winner Quincy Tyler Bernstine (Mr. Burns and Far From Heaven at PH; In the Next Room...; Ruined), Bobby Moreno (Drama Desk nomination for Year of the Rooster) and Tony Award nominee and Obie Award winner Lee Wilkof (Assassins and Glance of a Landscape at PH; Breakfast at Tiffany's and Kiss Me, Kate on Broadway; the original Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors).
Called to a life of religious service, Shelley (Ms. Bernstine) is the devoted manager of a Bronx soup kitchen, but lately her heart's not quite in it. Enter Emma (Ms. Mendes): an idealistic but confused young volunteer with mixed intentions, whose recklessness pushes Shelley to the breaking point. With keen humor and startling compassion, Heidi Schreck's play navigates the mystery of faith, the limits of forgiveness, and the pursuit of something resembling joy.
The production features scenic design by Rachel Hauck, costume design by Jessica Pabst, lighting design by Matt Frey and sound design by Leah Gelpe. Production Stage Manager is Sunny Stapleton.
