Elizabeth Franz, Jennifer Mudge & More Set For Bay Street Upcoming Season

With just 10 days left to catch the engrossing performance that Newsday gives 4 stars, DISSONANCE is not to be missed. Written by BBC writer Damian Lanigan, Newsday says, "Lanigan's intelligent, music-lovers drama deserves a shot at a longer New York/London run." This multi-layered and riveting play featuring a gorgeous, young rock star who ruffles the feathers of an already conflicted string quartet, has kicked off Bay Street's 2010 Summer Season with a bang.

"DISSONANCE is a pleasure from beginning to end...if the next two plays in the series are anywhere near as good as this one, East End theatergoers are going to have a great summer," says the East Hampton Star. DISSONANCE continues with performances through June 27th.

To celebrate the success of DISSONANCE, Bay Street will be offering a limited number of two-fer tickets from Tuesday, June 22nd through Sunday, June 27th only. Theatergoers can purchase two tickets for the price of one on the day of the performance only starting at 2pm. Tickets must be purchased in person at the box office on the Long Wharf.

Bay Street is proud to announce terrific casts for the remaining two Mainstage productions of the season. FIFTH OF JULY, previewing July 6th is one of Lanford Wilson's American classics. The talented cast includes Daniel Deferrari (Thujone, Trouble Tales For Boys And Girls, As Your Like It), Kally Duling (Bus Stop, You're A Good Man Charlie Brown, Little Women), veteran Broadway actress Elizabeth Franz (Broadway's Death of a Salesman, Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You, The Piano Teacher), Shane McRae (Take Me Out, Killers And Other Family and Film's "Bad Teacher"), Anson Mount (Film's "Tully" and "City By The Sea", Corpus Christi), Jennifer Mudge (Broadway's The Philanthropist, Dutchman, Bay Street's No Time For Comedy), Kellie Overbey (Broadway's Buried Child and Coast Of Utopia, Betty's Summer Vacation), and David Wilson Barnes (Broadway's The Lieutenant Of Inishmore, Becky Shaw and Film's "You Don't Know Jack). FIFTH OF JULY running July 6th - August 1st is a co-production with the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts where it will move following its run at Bay Street.

To wrap up the Mainstage Season, Mamet's ROMANCE features a star-studded ensemble that is sure to make this courtroom farce one to talk about! Veteran comic actors Richard Kind of numerous TV sitcoms including "Spin City" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and the most recent Cohen brothers film "A Serious Man" and Darrell Hammond of "Saturday Night Live" fame will star as Judge and Bailiff respectively and Chris Bauer of HBO's "True Blood" will play the Prosecutor. Matt McGrath, of the film "Boys Don't Cry" is a Bay Street favorite who returns as Bernard. Reg Rogers last seen on Broadway in THE ROYAL FAMILY and in recurring roles on both "Law & Order" and "CSI" will be playing the Defense Attorney, while Joey Slotnik who had feature roles in "Nip/Tuck" and "Boston Public" as well as the film "Twister" will play the Defendant.
