CONSTELLATIONS Extended At TheaterWorks

TheaterWorks (Rob Ruggiero, Producing Artistic Director) announced today that CONSTELLATIONS by Nick Payne will extend though February 22, 2018 with four added performances including a Wednesday matinee on February 21st. CONSTELLATIONS is the 2nd show of TheaterWorks 32nd Season.

One relationship. Infinite possibilities. This spellbinding journey imagines what happens when boy meets girl. And when boy meets girl again. And again. And again. Defying the boundaries of the world we think we know, Nick Payne's Olivier and Drama League nominated hit is a charming and deep exploration of free will and friendship, love and honey, and parallel universes. It begins with a simple encounter between a man and a woman - delving into the infinite possibilities of their relationship and raising questions about the difference between choice and destiny.

Rob Ruggiero will direct CONSTELLATIONS. Originally staged in London in 2012, it premiered in New York in 2015. Rob said, "This play is very special. There is something indescribable about it that compels me - it creates it own rules. Everything that happens to Marianne and Roland is a matter of probability and the rules of physics prevail. For this production, we are exploring an immersive design and have taken some creative risk. We are re-configuring theater seating so it wraps around a circular stage and we're introducing live music composed specifically for this production."
CONSTELLATIONS features M. Scott McLean as Roland, a beekeeper. Audiences will remember Scott from Midsummer (a play with songs). Making her TheaterWorks debut is Allison Pistorius as Marianne, a theoretical physicist. The creative team includes Jean Kim (Set Design), Phillip Rosenberg (Lighting Design) and Michael Miceli (Sound Design). An original interactive score will be composed and played by Billy Bivona.
