| I don’t usually publicize events that occur outside NJ, but Midtown Direct Rep is one of the most respected theater companies in Northern NJ. Now, a play written and directed by two founding members of Midtown Direct is having a world premiere in Astoria, NY, and they are offering a discount for MDR friends.
THE COTTAGE WHEN: Previews begin November 7 and the show runs through November 23. We're pleased to offer a special MDR discount for the WORLD PREMIERE of The Cottage. This play was MDR's April 2013 selection for our Theatre in the Loft Series and will now have its world premiere at The Astoria Performing Arts Center (APAC). Because of MDR's involvement with the development of the piece, APAC is offering all MDR audiences a discount for the first weekend of performances. (regularly priced tickets $18). The Cottage is a rollicking farce inspired by the works of Noel Coward. Set in the English countryside in 1923, this tale of sex, betrayal and, oh yes, love, unfolds when Sylvia Van Kipness decides to expose her love affair to her husband and her lover’s wife. The true meanings of fate, identity and marriage are called into question as a surprising, hilarious web of secrets unravels in this ridiculous—and potentially murderous—romantic comedy. Written by MDR's, Sandy Rustin, directed by MDR's, Adam Dannheisser, and cast by MDR's resident casting director, Gayle Seay (Wojcik/Seay casting), the production stars the incredible cast of Daniel Bielinski, Maria Couch, Kevin Isola, Jason Loughlin, Amy Rutber, and Hanley Smith. JOIN US FOR AN APAC TALK-BACK: Saturday, November 16, 2013 Tom Wojtunik (APAC Artistic Director) will moderate a panel featuring playwright Sandy Rustin (Rated R [for Parenthood]), as well as the cast of APAC’s production of the The Cottage: Daniel Bielinski, Maria Couch, Kevin Isola, Jason Loughlin, Amy Rutberg, and Hanley Smith.
