YOU'VE GOT HATE MAIL Returns To The Triad for an Extended Run

Billy Van Zandt & Jane Milmore ("Silent Laughter," "Love, Sex, and the I.R.S.," "A Night at the Nutcracker") bring their e-mail comedy of errors, "You've Got Hate Mail," back to the Triad after a spate of standing-room-only performances this fall & winter.

Hailed by critics (³The perfect bedroom farceŠexpertly directedŠriotously enacted by a five-person ensemble!² ­NY Post) (³LOLŠThe audience is guaranteed to do just that ­ Laugh Out loud!² -Star Ledger) (³It doesn¹t get better than this!² ­Show Business Weekly) (³A rapid-paced romp with a
millennium twist! Hilarious!² ­Curtainup.com), (³Behind this very funny theater piece lurk many surprises² ­Huffington Post), You¹ve Got Hate Mail is Van Zandt & Milmore¹s comic answer to A.R. Gurney¹s ³Love Letters.²

Love "bytes" all when an extra-marital affair goes horribly wrong, thanks to a juicy e-mail left sitting on a desktop. The story is told entirely in e-mails from laptop computers, although the play does manage to have an unforgettable chase scene - thanks to Blackberries and iPhones.

Van Zandt & Milmore are the authors of 23 plays published worldwide with Samuel French and translated into multiple languages around the globe. Van Zandt's solo play "The Property Known as Garland," which starred Adrienne Barbeau as Judy Garland , broke house records at the Actor's Playhouse in its initial Off-Broadway run.

Their television and film projects have brought them Emmy nominations, People's Choice Awards and NAACP Image Awards for their writing and producing on "I Love Lucy: The Very First Show," "Martin" and "The Hughleys."

The playwrights also appear in the production which co-stars Glenn Jones  , Barbara Bonilla and Fran Solgan. Gary Shaffer ("High School Reunion: The Musical") directs.

The Triad is a two-drink minimum/cash only venue. The next scheduled Off-Broadway performance of You¹ve Got Hate Mail will be Friday, March 18. Beginning on that date, the show will perform weekly every Friday night at The Triad with a 7:00 p.m. curtain.
