Abingdon Theatre Company will present the Off-Broadway premiere production of 'Til Death written by Elizabeth Coplan and directed by Chad Austin. 'Til Death will star two-time Tony Award Winner Judy Kaye (Nice Work If You Can Get It), Tony Award nominee Robert Cuccioli (Jekyll & Hyde), Michael Lee Brown (Dear Evan Hansen), Whitney Morse (The Violet Sisters), Dominick Laruffa Jr. (The Irishman), and Amy Hargreaves (Homeland).

In 'Til Death, one mother's choice unveils a family's long-buried secrets. As Mary's life-altering decision sends shockwaves through her loving-but-turbulent family, they all must confront their past, reconcile the present, and pick up the missing pieces in the process.

'Til Death will play a strictly limited engagement in Theatre 5 at Theatre Row starting November 19, with opening night set for November 30, and performances continuing through December 23, 2023. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased here.

The production is led by director Chad Austin who will drive the creative team, including Dawn Chiang (lighting design), Teresa L. Williams (scenic design), Lisa Renkel (projection design), Antonio Consuegra (costume design), Nicole Emmons (prop design), and Jesse Starr (sound design). Rounding out the team will include Allison Hohman (production stage management), with casting by Karie Koppel at Koppel Casting.

Elizabeth Coplan turned her personal loss into the groundbreaking play cycle, Grief Dialogues. In addition to 'Til Death, Elizabeth wrote the award-winning play Hospice: A Love Story. Her play Honoring Choices had successful BIPOC and multicultural productions and became a festival favorite short film. The Choice is co-written with her husband, Scott. Elizabeth is the Out of Grief Comes Art podcast creator and a collaborator on The A Chronicles, a theatrical series about reproductive rights.
