Photo Flash: First Look at Constantine Maroulis & More in Second Stage's FRIEND ART

Second Stage Theatre begins the 2016 Uptown Series with the world premiere of Sofia Alvarez's FRIEND ART, directed by Portia Krieger. FRIEND ART will feature ZOE CHAO, AARON COSTA GANIS, ANABELLE LEMIEUX and Tony Award nominee CONSTANTINE MAROULIS (Rock of Ages, "American Idol").

FRIEND ART is presented at Second Stage Theatre's uptown home, the McGinn/Cazale Theatre on Broadway at 76th Street.

Kevin and Molly are a 30-something couple about to get married. Their best friend Nate just broke up with Lil, his much younger performance artist girlfriend. The group is navigating Gotham living at varying levels of success, which inevitably means attending friends' basement art shows. In this comedy we're confronted with what it means to support the art and decisions your friends make, regardless of what it does to your friendships.

The fourteenth annual SECOND STAGE THEATRE UPTOWN SERIES also includes the New York premiere of Lucy Teitler's ENGAGEMENTS, directed by KIMBERLY SENIOR. Previews being Monday, July 18, with an opening night set for Thursday, July 28.
