Nicky Silver's THIS DAY FORWARD to Premiere at Vineyard Theatre This Fall; Creatives Set!

The world premiere of Nicky Silver's play THIS DAY FORWARD will open Vineyard Theatre's 2016-2017 season with previews beginning on Thursday, November 3 and opening on Monday, November 21, it has been announced by the company's Artistic Directors, Douglas Aibel and Sarah Stern. Vineyard Theatre is located at 108 E. 15 St. in New York City.

Directed by Mark Brokaw, THIS DAY FORWARD reunites the playwright-director duo behind The Vineyard hit THE LYONS, which starred Linda Lavin and transferred to Broadway in 2012. In this new comedy about love and marriage and everything in-between, Martin thinks he has just married the girl of his dreams, but when Irene makes a surprising confession in their honeymoon suite, all their well-made plans fall apart. Nearly 50 years later, Irene's children wrestle with their past and a mother whose secrets are quickly fading along with her memory.

THIS DAY FORWARD will feature scenic design by Allen Moyer (Vineyard's DOT, THE LYONS), costumes by Kaye Voyce (IRONBOUND, THE REAL THING), lighting by David Lander (Vineyard's THE LYONS, TOO MUCH SUN), and original music and sound design by David Van Tieghem (Vineyard's BILLY & RAY, TOO MUCH SUN).
