FREEZE FRAME: Cast of Roundabout Theatre Company's THE COMMON PURSUIT Meets Press

The cast of Off-Broadway Roundabout Theatre Company production The Common Pursuit, written by Simon Gray and directed by Moisés Kaufman, met the press Friday, April 6, at the company's rehearsal studio. The Common Pursuit will feature Kristen Bush as "Marigold," Kieran Campion as "Peter," Josh Cooke as "Stuart," Jacob Fishel as "Martin," Tim McGeever as "Humphry," Lucas Near-Verbrugghe as "Nick."

The Common Pursuit will begin performances May 4, 2012, and officially open on May 24, 2012, at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre/Laura Pels Theatre (111 West 46th Street). This is a limited engagement through July 29, 2012. The Common Pursuit will play Tuesday through Saturday evening at 7:30 p.m. with Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2:00 p.m.

The Common Pursuit chronicles twenty years in the lives of six friends, from their ambitious collegiate days to their surprising discoveries in the real world. Idealistic Cambridge student Stuart Thorne enlists some of his classmates to help him launch a new literary magazine. With the pursuit of great literature as their common thread, they become lifelong friends. But when damaging secrets crop up and business demands creep in, Stuart is faced with some unexpected decisions. Delightfully witty and remarkably poignant, The Common Pursuit is a captivating journey from who we think we are...to who we turn out to be.
