'BACK BACK BACK' Concludes Its Limited Run On 12/28

The Manhattan Theatre Club production of Itamar Moses' BACK BACK BACK, the timely new play set in baseball's steroid era, will conclude its limited engagement on Sunday, December 28. The production will have played 21 previews and 47 regular performances.

BACK BACK BACK opened at MTC at New York City Center - Stage II (131 West 55th Street) on Tuesday, November 18. Directed by Daniel Aukin (former artistic director of Soho Rep, director of Everything Will Be Different, [sic]), the production stars Jeremy Davidson ("Army Wives," Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at The Kennedy Center), James Martinez (U.S. Drag, "Numb3rs"), and Michael Mosley (HBO's "Generation Kill," NBC's "Kidnapped").

Does greatness always come with a price? Can only someone with nothing to lose tell the whole truth? From Itamar Moses, the acclaimed writer of last season's MTC Stage II hit The Four of Us and Bach at Leipzig, comes a stirring new drama about America's favorite pastime. BACK BACK BACK follows the turbulent careers of three very different teammates (Davidson, Martinez, and Mosley) in baseball's steroid era whose clubhouse secrets bring them under federal scrutiny. This timely new play reveals a riveting portrait of pressure, paranoia and payback in professional sports.

The creative team for BACK BACK BACK includes David Zinn (scenic and costume design), David Weiner (lighting design), and Ryan Rumery & Daniel Baker (sound design).

Under the leadership of Artistic Director Lynne Meadow and Executive Producer Barry Grove, MTC has become one of the country's most prominent and prestigious theatre companies. MTC productions have earned a total of 16 Tony Awards and five Pulitzer Prizes, an accomplishment unparalleled by a New York theatrical institution. Renowned MTC productions include Top Girls; From Up Here; Come Back, Little Sheba; The Receptionist; LoveMusik; Blackbird; Translations; Shining City; Rabbit Hole; Doubt; Proof; The Tale of the Allergist's Wife; Kimberly Akimbo; Love! Valour! Compassion!; Sylvia; Four Dogs and a Bone; Putting It Together; Lips Together, Teeth Apart; Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune; Crimes of the Heart; and Ain't Misbehavin'.

This season, MTC's Broadway stage was renamed the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre (261 West 47th Street). The landmarked theatre has been the institution's home on Broadway since 2003 and was rehabilitated by MTC following a two-year, $35 million capital campaign. In addition, MTC operates two theatres at New York City Center (131 West 55th Street), its Off-Broadway home since 1984.
