STRAIGHT, Starring Jake Epstein, to Close Off-Broadway This Sunday

The World Premiere of Straight, a new play written by Scott Elmegreen and Drew Fornarola and directed by Andy Sandberg (Application Pending), will conclude its off-Broadway run this Sunday, May 8 after having played 101 performances at The Acorn Theatre @ Theatre Row (410 W 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036).

The cast of Straight includes Jake Epstein (Broadway's Beautiful, "Degrassi") as Ben, Jenna Gavigan (Broadway's Gypsy, "The Good Wife") as Emily, and introduces Thomas E. Sullivan as Chris.

Meet Ben. Ben is a 26-year old investment banker. Ben likes beer, sports, and Emily. And Chris.STRAIGHT is a provocative new play that deals with fidelity, sexuality, and identity in post-Equality America. Funny, sad, sexy, and surprising, this three-character drama takes a hard look at the moral complex of a generation that prides itself on the pretense of tolerance.

STRAIGHT began previews on February 9, 2016, officially opened February 29, and will run through May 8, 2016 at The Acorn Theatre @ Theatre Row (410 W 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036). Professional, stock, and amateur licensing for Straight will be available through Dramatic Publishing Company.

The Off-Broadway production features scenic design by Charlie Corcoran, costume design by Michael McDonald, lighting design by Grant Yeager, sound design by Alex Hawthorn, original music by Will Van Dyke, and casting by Matthew Maisto, CSA, with Baseline Theatrical serving as general manager. Straight is produced by Straight Productions LLC, Caiola Productions, Harrison Chad, Peter May, Extra Toasty Productions, Oliver Roth, and SunnySpot Productions.
