Second Stage's LIPS TOGETHER, TEETH APART Cancels Tonight's Performance Due to Actor Illness

BroadwayWorld has just learned that Second Stage Theatre's production of Terrence McNally's play, Lips Together, Teeth Apart, directed by Peter DuBois, is canceled tonight, November 19, due to an actor illness. A production representative confirmed that the show was also canceled last night, and today's matinee was canceled following the first act.

The production features Michael Chernus (Obie Award winner for In the Wake), Tracee Chimo (Lortel Award winner for Bad Jews, 2ST Uptown's Bachelorette), America Ferrera (Emmy Award winner for "Ugly Betty") and Austin Lysy (2ST's The Water's Edge).

It's the 4th of July on Fire Island where a brother and sister and their spouses are spending the quintessential American summer weekend in an unfamiliar setting. As their season in the sun unfolds, the two couples do their best to enjoy themselves despite their prejudices and insecurities. The grill is fired up, the drinks are cold and the pool is open but no one is going in.

Terrence McNally's trenchant comedy receives its first New York revival in 23 years under the direction of Peter DuBois.
