The Players Theater has moved the New York Premiere production of David Barth's Hard Right to an Off-Broadway contract at the 199-seat theatre from March 7th through April 1st, for an opening night on March 12th.

Written and directed by David Barth, the show will have a new playing schedule at its new home.

"In Hard Right, a slacker college student brings his girlfriend home for a visit with the folks. Family tensions turn into family trauma when a counselor conducting a dubious field study also pays the family a visit. The timeless conflict between liberty and absolute power is reexamined in this darkly comic parable set on the eve of the age of terror," state press notes.

The ensemble cast includes Susan Engbrecht (Actor's Gang), Dylan Price (Second Stage), Stacy Shane (Barrow Group), Jeremy Beck and Shayne Dukevitch.

Barth has ten produced original plays to his credit including A Dance Along the Precipice, The Last Frontier, Unt Gretel, Spook's Lament and The Heel. Some of his awards include a Bernie Award from The San Francisco Chronicle, a Goldie Award from the San Francisco Bay Guardian and a Gerbode Foundation Grant. The Heel was developed into a screenplay for Jerry Garcia. In 2005, he was selected as an Edward F. Albee Foundation Fellow.

The show runs March 7 - April 1, Thursday - Saturday at 8pm with an opening night performance on Sunday, March 12 at 8pm. The Players Theatre is located at 115 MacDougal Street (between Bleecker & West 3rd St. -- accessible from the A,B,C,D,E,F&V trains at West 4th Street.) Tickets are $25 / $15 for students and seniors; they are available at 212-352-3101 or www.TheaterMania.com.
