The official opening night is set for Thursday, September 29th at 7 PM.
Starring Tony Award-winner Shirley Knight (Kennedy's Children, The Young Man from Atlanta) and Carrie Preston (The Rivals, The Tempest), as well as Brenda Wehle, Ben Fox and Nina Jacques, Cycling Past the Matterhorn is directed by Eleanor Holdridge.

"Set in contemporary London, the play is a fast-paced comedy about a mother and daughter at a crossroads.

Amy's eccentric mother, Esther (Knight), has recently been left by her husband and has just discovered she is slowly going blind. Amy, fearing being stuck as Esther's caretaker, considers marrying her American boyfriend to escape the predicament while Esther decides to forge ahead with her life, and joins a cycling excursion in Switzerland to see the mountains while she still can," according to press notes.
