"It's Only a Play" Guarantees an Evening of Laughter

Want a break from headline news? Get your tickets for "It's Only a Play", a hilarious, at times ridiculous, comedy directed by Mike Frale. The show opens Friday,

It’s the opening night of The Golden Egg on Broadway, and the wealthy producer Julia Budder is throwing a lavish party in her lavish Manhattan townhouse. Downstairs the celebrities are pouring in, but the real action is upstairs in the bedroom, where a group of insiders have staked themselves out to await the reviews. The group includes the excitable playwright; the possibly unstable wunderkind director; the pill-popping leading lady, treading the boards after becoming infamous in Hollywood; and the playwright’s best friend, for whom the play was written but who passed up this production for a television series. Add to this a drama critic who’s panned the playwright in the past and a new-in-town aspiring singer, and you have a prime recipe for the narcissism, ambition, childishness, and just plain irrationality that infuse the theatre—and for comedy. But don’t worry: This play is sure to be the hit they have all been hoping for.

Show runs May 16 - June 14.
8 pm on Fridays & Saturdays (no show June 6)
4 pm on Sundays (no show May 25)
