Partial Comfort Productions will present the World Premiere of NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY by Chad Beckim (pictured above). Directed by Shelley Butler, previews begin October 1 at the Jeffrey and Paula Gural Theatre at The A.R.T./New York Theatres. Opening night is slated for October 8.
Clay and Jess have big dreams: college, refuge from the cold Maine winters, and a permanent escape from the paycheck-to-paycheck, rent-a-center furniture lifestyle of their parents. When Jess finds herself temporarily stuck behind and at odds with her stepfather, she moves in with Clay's mom and begrudgingly takes a job at the local chicken farm. Meanwhile Clay heads off to college, counting down the days to his return, desperate to avoid the destiny of his geography. NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY is love story for the opioid era. NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY stars Mary Bacon (Tom Stoppard's Rock n Roll on Broadway, Women Without Men at The Mint, Charles Busch's The Tribute Artist, Eccentricities of a Nightingale with TACT, Giant at The Public) and will be stage managed by Lindsay Kipnis. Additional casting to be announce shortly. The design team includes Jason Simms (Sets), Karen Spahn (Lighting), Sinan Refik Zafar (Sound) and Whitney Locher (Costumes),Videos
