Tony Award-winning actress Blair Brown will make her New York directing debut with Leslie Ayvazian's Lovely Day, according to Variety. Presented by the Play Company, the show will run from January 12th through February 12th at off-Broadway's Samuel Beckett Theatre on Theatre Row (410 W. 42nd St.).

The play concerns a married couple played by Deirdre O'Connell and David Rasche, who on the day of their anniversary, learn that a military recruiter visited their son's school.  Harry Zittel is also featured in the show.

Brown won a 2000 Tony Award for her performance in Copenhagen. Other Broadway credits include James Joyce's The Dead, Cabaret, Arcadia, The Secret Rapture and Threepenny Opera, while she has appeared off-Broadway in Humble Boy and The Comedy of Errors. Brown was also featured in the 2002 Sondheim Celebration production of A Little Night Music at the Kennedy Center. Screen credits include Dogville, Space Cowboys, Altered States and many TV movies and shows (including "ER" and "Ed").

Ayvazian, who recently appeared in A Naked Girl on the Appian Way, doubles as an actress and playwright. Her other plays include Nine Armenians and High Dive.

Lovely Day's creative team includes David Korins (sets), Michael Krass (costumes), Paul Whittaker (lighting), and Darron L. West (sound).
