Photo Flash: ERS's FONDLY, COLLETTE RICHLAND Celebrates Opening Night at NYTW

New York Theatre Workshop (NYTW) presents the world premiere of a new play from its acclaimed Company-in-Residence Elevator Repair Service (The Sound and the Fury, The Select, Gatz) -- FONDLY, COLLETTE RICHLAND. The production debuted earlier this week on September 28, 2015, and BroadwayWorld has photos from the opening night festivities below!

This new work, written by NYTW Usual Suspect Sibyl Kempson and directed by ERS Artistic Director John Collins, is performed by a cast of 12 ERS performers, and features Scenic and Costume Design by David Zinn, Lighting Design by Mark Barton, and Sound Design by Ben Williams. The play was commissioned in part by the Walker Art Center (Minneapolis, MN) and had preview performances there in May 2013 under the title Fondly, Collette Richland.

A couple is at home in Middle America. After a visit from a stranger, they are mysteriously summoned to an Alpen holiday. Soon after, while at a hotel with an extended circle of eccentric acquaintances, they are set upon by dark forces. They return home to find everything has changed.

The play was commissioned by the Walker Art Center with support provided by the William and Nadine McGuire Commissioning Fund, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Producers' Council members Leni and David Moore, Jr./The David & Leni Moore Family Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts. It was developed with support from the Playwrights' Center, and at The Performing Garage, Abrons Art Center, and New York Theatre Workshop.
