TABLE 17 Extends at MCC Theater Through Late September

The World Premiere of MCC Theater's Table 17 by Douglas Lyons and directed by Zhailon Levingston has been extended for an additional week. Previously extended through September 22, Table 17 will now play through Sunday September 29 at MCC Theater’s Susan & Ronald Frankel Theater.
 
Table 17 began previews on Wednesday August 14 with an opening night set for next Friday September 6.
 
If your ex wanted to meet up again, would you? Previously engaged, Jada and Dallas reunite for dinner to hash out the good, the bad, and the ugly from their romantic past. Despite the intrusion of sassy waiters, complicated memories, and their best efforts to keep things casual, the estranged couple find themselves cornered by the truth.   From playwright Douglas Lyons (Chicken & Biscuits) and director Zhailon Levingston (Cats: The Jellicle Ball), this world premiere play is a hilarious and sweet open letter to love found, lost, and possibly reignited.   
 
The cast of Table 17 includes Biko Eisen-Martin (MCC’s soft), Michael Rishawn (Ain’t No Mo’), and Tony Award® winner Kara Young (MCC’s All the Natalie Portmans, Purlie Victorious: A Non-Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch, Clyde’s, The Cost of Living).
