Primary Stages in association with the Perry Street Theatre, Patrick Blake and Cheryl Wiesenfeld, has announced a second and final extension of the new play In The Continuum, written and performed by Danai Gurira and Nikkole Salter with direction by Robert O'Hara. 

The limited engagement was to end January 28, 2006 and will now play through Saturday evening, February 18, 2006 prior to an African and U.S. tour.  The play transferred to the Perry Street Theatre (31 Perry Street, just west of 7th Avenue) after concluding its critically-acclaimed sold-out world premiere engagement at Primary Stages at 59E59 Theaters. Performances resumed at the Perry Street Theatre November 18, 2005 and officially re-opened on December 1, 2005, World AIDS Day.  Upon closing, the play will have given 13 previews and 81 regular performances.

In The Continuum "dramatizes the devastating problem of AIDS among African and African-American women ­ a timely topic and an egregiously overlooked problem that is only now getting the attention of the international media.  Living worlds apart in South Central, L.A. and Harare, Zimbabwe, two young women experience a kaleidoscopic weekend of darkly comic life changing revelations. With the two playwright/actors playing dozens of roles, In The Continuum envelopes the audience in its story of parallel denials and self-discoveries," state press notes.

In The Continuum plays the following schedule: Monday through Saturday evenings at 8:00PM and Saturdays at 3:00PM.  Tickets are $60 and may be purchased by calling SmartTix at (212) 868-4444 or online at www.SmartTix.com. With valid ID, $20 student tickets are available one-hour prior to performance.
