Photo Flash: First Look at Happy Few Theatre's THE GOODBYE ROOM

Happy Few Theatre Company presents the World Premiere of THE GOODBYE ROOM, a thoughtful family drama written by co-artistic director Eric Gilde, running now through March 19, 2016 at The Bridge Theatre at Shetler Studios, 244 West 54th Street, New York, NY 10019. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

Gilde directs a cast of four, including Ellen Adair* (TV: recurring roles on NBC's "The Slap," HBO's "Veep," and ABC's upcoming drama "The Family") and Sarah Killough* (Bway: upcoming Long Day's Journey Into Night; Off-Bway: Once Upon a Mattress with Transport Group), Michael Selkirk* (multiple productions as company member at WorkShop and Titan Theatre companies), and Craig Wesley Divino* (NYC's Fault Line Theatre).

Set in a quiet Midwestern town, the goodbye room follows the relationship between two estranged sisters, reunited to bury the dead. The sisters are joined by their father and a long-time family friend who each have a story to tell. With heartfelt simplicity, the play explores what we hide, what we share, and the individual nature of response to this most universal of human experiences. This timeless problem receives a delicate examination through a contemporary lens. Are grieving and moving forward two sides of the same coin?

THE GOODBYE ROOM is presented by Happy Few Theatre Company. Director: Eric Gilde; Lighting Designer: Jennifer Wilcox; Sound Designer: Jacob Subotnick; Stage Manager: Sarah Lahue; Production Manager: Brittany Crowell; Press Representative: Paul Siebold/Off Off PR.
