Second Stage's LIPS TOGETHER, TEETH APART Opens Tonight

Second Stage Theatre's production of Terrence McNally's play, Lips Together, Teeth Apart, directed by Peter DuBois, officially opens tonight, October 29, 2014.

The production features Michael Chernus (Obie Award winner for In the Wake), Tracee Chimo (Lortel Award winner for Bad Jews, 2ST Uptown's Bachelorette), America Ferrera (Emmy Award winner for "Ugly Betty") and Austin Lysy (2ST's The Water's Edge).

It's the 4th of July on Fire Island where a brother and sister and their spouses are spending the quintessential American summer weekend in an unfamiliar setting. As their season in the sun unfolds, the two couples do their best to enjoy themselves despite their prejudices and insecurities. The grill is fired up, the drinks are cold and the pool is open but no one is going in.

Terrence McNally's trenchant comedy receives its first New York revival in 23 years under the direction of Peter DuBois.

LIPS TOGETHER, TEETH APART will be performed at Second Stage's Tony Kiser Theatre, 305 West 43rd Street (just west of Eighth Avenue).
