'Til Sunday' with Nairoby Otero, Opens Off-Bway on Feb.22

'Til Sunday, a new play written by and starring Nairoby Otero and directed by Michelle Tattenbaum, will open at the Dorothy Strelsin Theatre at the Abingdon Theatre Arts Complex (312 West 36th Street, between 8th & 9th Avenues) on Friday, February 22. There will be a preview performance on February 21.

Loeber Productions will present 'Til Sunday, "a one-woman play that tells the story of a young mother coming to the US from Cuba with her daughter in search of a better life. It gives a look at a family that defines what it means to be Cuban: what it means to be an immigrant and, ultimately, what it means to be American," describe press notes/

Nairoby Otero, a first generation American, came from a strong Cuban family. Both parents were immigrants from Cuba, her father as late as the 1980 boatlift. Nairoby grew up in New Orleans with Spanish as her first language. As an actress, she has received rave reviews in the New York plays "Identity" and "Words of Choice". 'Til Sunday is dedicated to her family's plight as immigrants in America. She is a member of the Dramatists Guild.

Michelle Tattenbaum (Director) directed and co-produced The Sublet Experiment, a play that performed in different apartments all over New York City for over six months from 2006 - 2007.  Other New York directing credits include:  The Chromium Hook for Manhattan Theatre Club and the Lincoln Center Directors' Lab; Szinhaza at the Duke and Untitled Short Play at the Flea, both for Naked Angels; Gallathea (which she also adapted) at Here Arts Center; An Archipelago Of Clouds and Laughing All The Way from the Sperm Bank at FringeNYC; and Guyler Beguiled at the Maverick Theater.

Set design is by Jerad Schomer; lighting by Rachel Gilmore, costumes by Jessica Pabst and sound by Kai Gross.

Performance schedule will be Tuesdays through Saturdays at 8PM with a Sunday matinee at 3PM.
