Although John Guare's Landscape of the Body officially opens at Signature Theatre Company's Peter Norton Space (555 W. 42nd St.) on April 16th, the show's stars and creative team turned out for an early opening night party on April 13th. The show began previews on March 28th.Directed by Michael Greif (Rent), the play stars Lili Taylor ("Six Feet Under," Aunt Dan and Lemon) and Sherie Rene Scott (Tony-nominee for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Last Five Years, Aida). "What
are we after we lose everything? 1970s Greenwich Village hosts a slew
of mysterious and seemingly isolated events that connect a group of
people on a nightmarish quest for the American Dream. Through twists in
time and with some help from a singing narrator back from the dead,
John Guare weaves an amazingly entertaining tale of their tragic and
comic collisions that force them to discover what it is like to be left
with—or blessed with—nothing but themselves," state press notes. All tickets are $15. For additional information, visit www.signaturetheatre.org. For subscription or single tickets call (212) 244-PLAY (7529). Photos by Nella Vera
