Steven Sater's NEW YORK ANIMALS to Launch Bedlam's 2015-16 Season

Bedlam announced that they will open their 2015/2016 season with the world premiere of NEW YORK ANIMALS, a new play by two-time Tony Award winner Steven Sater (Spring Awakening) with music by six-time Grammy Award winner and three-time Academy Award winner Burt Bacharach, and directed by Eric Tucker.

NEW YORK ANIMALS will begin previews Saturday, November 14, 2015, at The New Ohio (154 Christopher Street), open Sunday, November 29, 2015, and end a strictly limited engagement on Sunday, December 20, 2015. Tickets range from $30 to $49 and are available at www.newohiotheatre.org or www.theatrebedlam.org. NEW YORK ANIMALS plays Tuesdays through Sundays.

A cast of four weaves a tapestry of the hysterical and tragic stories of 21 New Yorkers, as their lives intersect during a long, rainy day in Manhattan.

A workshop production of NEW YORK ANIMALS directed by John Flynn played Los Angeles' Rogue Machine Theatre in the summer of 2010.

The return engagement of Bedlam's sold-out, critically acclaimed production of Jane Austen's SENSE & SENSIBILITY, adapted for the stage by Kate Hamill, will begin previews Sunday, January 24, 2016, and open Sunday, February 14, 2016, at The Gym at Judson (243 Thompson Street), for a limited 6 week engagement.

Directed by Eric Tucker and starring Andrus Nichols, SENSE & SENSIBILITY will play Tuesdays through Sundays, with tickets ranging from $49 to $99 (Select Premium).

Tickets for both shows go on sale Monday, August 17, 2015, at www.TheatreBedlam.org.
