Photo Flash: 'Three Changes' at Playwrights Horizons

THREE CHANGES a new play by Nicky Silver, will open at Playwrights Horizons on September 16th, 2008. Directed by Tony Award nominee Wilson Milam (The Lieutenant of Inishmore) in his Playwrights Horizons debut, the production began previews on Friday August 22nd. 

The cast will feature Golden Globe winner and Emmy Award nominee Dylan McDermott ("The Practice," Drama League Award nomination for The Culture Project's production of Eve Ensler's The Treatment, Broadway debut in Biloxi Blues); Emmy Award nominee Maura Tierney (Dr. Abby Lockhart on "ER," Some Girl(s) at MCC); film, television and stage star Scott Cohen (Drunk Enough to Say I Love You? at The Public, Broadway's Losing Louie, "Gilmore Girls," "NYPD Blue," the recent FOX series "The Return of Jezebel James"); Aya Cash (The Pain and the Itch at Playwrights Horizons, From Up Here at MTC); and Brian J. Smith (Good Boys and True at Second Stage, MTC's Come Back, Little Sheba).

It was announced this week that due to popular demand, THREE CHANGES will extend its World Premiere.   Originally set to play a limited engagement through Sunday, September 28, the production will now play through Friday, October 3 at Playwrights Horizons’ Mainstage Theater (416 West 42nd Street). In addition to the extension starting Tuesday, September 30, the theater company is also adding two special Wednesday matinees on September 10 and September 24, both at 2:30 PM.  Tickets for all new performances are now on sale. Starting September 30th Tim Hopper will be taking over the role of Nate.

In THREE CHANGES, Nate (Dylan McDermott) and Laurel (Maura Tierney) are a comfortably married, Upper West Side couple - until Nate's wayward brother Hal (Scott Cohen) arrives from Hollywood. What at first seems a casual visit, a chance to reconnect, is quickly revealed as something more ominous. Hal may have had success, but human connection is all that matters, and he intends to make connections - no matter who pays the price. Nicky Silver's THREE CHANGES is a funny and darkly suspenseful look at the joy of family, and how far we'll go to get it.

The production will feature scenic design by two-time Obie Award winner Neil Patel, costume design by Theresa Squire, lighting design by Ben Stanton and sound design by Bart Fasbender. Production Stage Manager will be William H. Lang.

Playwrights Horizons' 2008/2009 Season is generously supported by The Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust.
