The Onion And AV Club Present THE MIKE AND MORGAN SHOW

THE ONION and A.V. CLUB NEW YORK and SHELBY COMPANY is pleased to announce the world premiere production of Raphael Bob-Waksberg's THE MIKE AND MORGAN SHOW, directed by Lacy Post. THE MIKE AND MORGAN SHOW will play a two-week limited engagement at the Access Theater (380 Broadway, 4th Floor) in rep with Dan Moyer's You May Be Splendid Now and Jonathan A. Goldberg's Luck of the Ibis. Performances begin Wednesday, January 21st, and continue through Sunday, January 31st. Opening Night is Friday January 22nd 9p. Press is invited to all performances.

It's The Mike and Morgan Show! Morgan died, Mike cried, and now, three years later, he wrote her a play about the last night they spent together. Watch Mike and Morgan drive around aimlessly! Thrill as they recall all the things they wanted to say to each other but didn't because they were so sure there would be other days to say them. Maybe, if Mike concentrates really hard, this time he can save her from drowning (spoiler alert: he can't). Who doesn't love spending an evening with old friends? Fun! But sad. But fun!

Thu Jan 21, 7pm
Fri Jan 22, 5pm
