Casting Announced for Off-Broadway's Sealed for Freshness

Casting is complete for Sealed for Freshness, the new Tupperware comedy, written and directed by Doug Stone. Performances begin at New World Stages (340 West 50th Street) on Thursday, February 15, 2007. Opening night is set for Saturday, February 24th at 7 :00 p.m.

The cast includes Patricia Dalen, Brian Dykstra, Nancy Hornback, Kate Vandevender, J.J. Van Name and Jennifer Dorr White.

"Set in the 1960s on a hilarious journey of self-discovery, Sealed for Freshness is the story of five mid-western women who believe in being good wives, good mothers and good neighbors. They were raised to trade their dreams, hopes and desires for social norms and now they want them back. These hermetically sealed, airtight lives unravel during a sidesplitting Tupperware party gone awry. The women of Sealed for Freshness are struggling with lost youth, missed opportunities -- and deviled egg containers. In other words, they're the original 'Desperate Housewives,'" state press notes.

A portion of the proceeds from Sealed for Freshness will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

 The Susan G. Komen Foundation was founded by Nancy Brinker in 1982, launching the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures.

The performance schedule is as follows: Tuesday - Friday at 8:00 p.m., Saturday at 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. and Sunday at 3:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online at www.Telecharge.com, by calling (212) 239-6200 or at the New World Stages Box Office.  Visit www.sealedforfreshness.com for more information.
