Roundabout's IF I FORGET to Be Captured by BroadwayHD

It has just been announced that on April 26, Roundabout's acclaimed production of Steven Levenson's new play If I Forget will be captured on video by BroadwayHD, to be released on demand to BroadwayHD subscribers in Fall 2017 (date TBA).

Roundabout Theatre Company (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director/CEO) will conclude the world-premiere production of If I Forget by Roundabout Underground alumni playwright Steven Levenson (The Unavoidable Disappearance of Tom Durnin; Dear Evan Hansen), directed by Daniel Sullivan on Sunday, April 30.

The cast includes Larry Bryggman (Picnic), Maria Dizzia ("Orange is the New Black"), Tasha Lawrence (Good People), Jeremy Shamos (Noises Off), Seth Steinberg, Kate Walsh ("Grey's Anatomy"), Gary Wilmes (Irrational Man).

At the time of closing, If I Forget will have played 22 preview performances and 78 regular performances. Previews began Off-Broadway on Thursday, February 2, 2017 and opened officially on Wednesday, February 22, 2017 at the Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre (111 West 46th Street).

If I Forget is a sharply funny, unflinchingly honest new play about the stories we choose to believe, the compromises we can't avoid and the hurt only our nearest and dearest can inflict.

In the final months before 9/11, liberal Jewish studies professor Michael Fischer has reunited with his two sisters to celebrate their father's 75th birthday. Each deeply invested in their own version of family history, the siblings clash over everything from Michael's controversial scholarly work to the mounting pressures of caring for an ailing parent.

As destructive secrets and long-held resentments bubble to the surface, the three negotiate- with biting humor and razor-sharp insight-how much of the past they're willing to sacrifice for a chance at a new beginning. If I Forget tells a powerful tale of a family and a culture at odds with itself.

Roundabout is pleased to welcome back playwright, Steven Levenson, on the heels of his success with Dear Evan Hansen. Following his acclaimed production of The Language of Trees in 2008 at Roundabout Underground, Roundabout commissioned Steven to write The Unavoidable Disappearance of Tom Durnin that premiered at the Laura Pels Theatre in 2013.

Roundabout welcomes Daniel Sullivan back to the Laura Pels, where he last helmed the theater's inaugural, and award winning, production of Intimate Apparel. Jeremy Shamos returns following his critically acclaimed performances in last season's revival of Noises Off and 2013's Dinner with Friends. Larry Bryggman also returns following his performances in Picnic, Twelve Angry Men and Harvey at Roundabout.

The creative team includes Derek McLane (Set Design), Jess Goldstein (Costume Design), Kenneth Posner (Lighting Design) and Dan Moses Schreier (Original Music & Sound Design).
