Cherry Lane Theatre's ACTUALLY WE'RE F** KED Extends Through April 21

Cherry Lane Theatre proudly announces that its current production of ACTUALLY, WE'RE F**KED, which opened on March 7 and initially set to run through April 7, will now extend its run through April 21, 2019. ACTUALLY, WE'RE F**KED is a new play by Matt Williams and directed by John Pasquin.

In ACTUALLY, WE'RE F**KED, four millennials order take-out every Thursday, drink too much wine and argue over how to rescue the planet. They know the world is a dumpster fire, and they're the generation to fix it. That is, until someone makes a life-changing announcement that challenges their beliefs, their relationships and whether babies should have their own Instagram accounts. The comedy stars Mairin Lee (THE HEIRESS on Broadway), Keren Lugo (WATER BY THE SPOONFUL), Ben Rappaport (ABC" For the People," FIDDLER and PICNIC on Broadway) and Gabriel Sloyer (THE ASSEMBLED PARTIES on Broadway).

ACTUALLY, WE'RE F**KED opened on March 7 and has been called "A zippy, likable romp across the minefield of issues facing millennials today. Williams peppers his meditations on the world's problems with idiosyncratic fluff, cutting rhetoric, and some genuinely hilarious one-liners. Go see this show if you want a road map for emotionally processing the very f**ked America we live in." TheaterScene; "With the first-rate direction by Pasquin, ACTUALLY WE'RE F**KED, (is) a well-acted, enjoyable evening of theatre. Definitely entertaining. I took my millennial son who loved it and could relate." Times Square Chronicle; "4 out of 5 stars. The play will make you laugh, may bring a tear to your eye and leave you feeling good as you leave." Front Row Center

The show will feature set design by Robin Vest (NYC: AND THEN THERE WERE NONE), lighting design by Paul Miller (Broadway: AMAZING GRACE, LEGALLY BLONDE), costume design by Theresa Squire (Broadway: HIGH FIDELITY), sound design by M.L.
