brooklynONE productions (bkONE) presents Leslye Headlands Bachelorette. Ten years out of high school, three friends crash their classmate's hotel room for the perfect pre-nuptial celebration. Fueled by booze and drugs, the former prom queen, the sweetheart cokehead and the scoring maid of honor find themselves on a road to self-destruction and discovery as their picture-perfect lives are peeled away to reveal what lies beneath. Leslye Headland's tour de force play of angst and self-loathing of a generation smashes its way to an Brooklyn premiere.

This production, which opened March 7th, was directed by New York up and comer Nik Aliye. "The best thing about these characters is how finely flawed they are." Says Aliye. "We're having such a great time discovering the nuances of these characters and the night they're going through. I'm so lucky to be working with such a talented cast and crew and I cannot even believe how wonderful everyone at brooklynONE is."

Artistic Director and brooklynONE founder Anthony Marino serves as producer. "A show like Bachelorette is a natural fit for the ongoing mission on our company, bringing quality Manhattan style works to Brooklyn. Having Leslye join us for our March 15th production is an honor, and we can't wait." Marino noted that the talk will include a Q&A with the cast/crew and Leslye.

Questions will be open to the audience and on social media as well by submitting them to @brooklynONE or @leslyeheadland on twitter with hashtag #bacheloretteBK. Questions will also be taken via email - if you want to submit your question to Leslye just email submit@brooklynONE.org with #bacheloretteBK in the subject area.

The show stars Alexis Demetra Baker, Amy-Helene Carlson, KK Glick, Elyse Steingold, Anthony Noto & Tony Grayson. Performances run March 7,8,14,15,21 at 8pm & March 23 at 4pm. St. Johns Parish Hall 461 99th street Brooklyn NY. Tickets are on sale now at http://www.brooklynONE.org/featured or available at the door the nights of the performances ($20).
