Zoe Maltby's New Play MY PARENTS ARE HERE TONIGHT Premieres Tonight at Access Theatre Gallery Space

Three Girls and a Boat presents "my parents are here tonight" a new play by Zoe Maltby premiering at the Access Theater from tonight, October 12, through October 21, 2017.

Directed by Liz Power, the cast features Molly Dillon, Campbell Dunsmore, Anna Clare Kerr, Joseph Huffman, and Marcella Pereda.

"my parents are here tonight" is a 90-minute play set in the dressing room/green room/costume closet during the final performance of North Salem High School's improbably expensive, ultra high-concept adaptation of King Lear, grandly entitled "Aspects of Lear! (A Play in Five Acts)." Through quick changes, dance numbers, and the magic of Avril Lavigne, "my parents are here tonight" captures the joys and (mostly) horrors of an adolescence lived backstage.

The creative team includes scenic and lighting designer Lucas Ingram, costume designer Sophie Costanzi, sound designer Gabe Lozada, and stage manager Abraham Marlett. Allie Carieri is the lead producer and general manager, and Grace Merriman is producing and director of marketing.
