Greenberg's 'The American Plan' Opens Feb.28 at Old Globe

Old Globe presents the west coast premiere of The American Plan, by Richard Greenberg (Take Me Out, Three Days of Rain), directed by Kim Rubinstein, to run in the Cassius Carter Centre Stage February 23 - March 30 (press opening: Thursday, February 28 at 8PM).

"The American Plan is a funny and intriguing look at deeply rooted double standards of America in the early 1960s. Set in an idyllic Catskills lake retreat, the play tells the tale of an elegant and imperious German-Jewish refugee mother, her eccentric daughter straining against her mother's tight leash, and the mysterious young man who enters their lives," explain press notes.

The cast includes Kate Arrington (Lily Adler), Pat Bowie (Olivia Shaw), Michael Kirby (Gil Harbison), Sandra Shipley (Eva Adler) and Patrick Zeller (Nick Lockridge)

The production team includes Kim Rubinstein, director; Wilson Chin, scenic design; Emily Pepper, costume design; Chris Rynne, lighting design; Paul Peterson, sound design; and Leila Knox, stage manager.

Show times are Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 7PM; Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8PM; and matinees Saturday and Sunday at 2PM.

Tickets for ($42-$59) The American Plan go on sale Sunday, January 27 (currently available through subscription) and can be purchased by calling (619) 23-GLOBE, on the Globe website at www.TheOldGlobe.org, or by visiting the box office at 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park.
