Red Light Winter, a new play written and directed by Adam Rapp, began performances at the Barrow Street Theatre (27 Barrow Street at 7th Avenue) on January 20th. The production, which played a sold-out extended run at Chicago's acclaimed Steppenwolf Theatre Company last summer, will open officially on Thursday, February 9.

The world premiere production of Red Light Winter opened at Steppenwolf's Garage Theatre in Chicago on May 29, 2005, and was extended by popular demand. Recently, Adam Rapp (Stone Cold Dead Serious, Animals and Plants) won the 37th Annual Joseph Jefferson Award for New Work for the play.

The production transfers intact with its original Steppenwolf actors : Christopher Denham, Lisa Joyce and Gary Wilmes. "Red Light Winter follows two men and a woman in very foreign territory. College friends Davis (Wilmes) and Matt (Denham) spend a wild, unforgettable evening in Amsterdam's Red Light District with a beautiful young prostitute, Christina (Joyce). They find that their lives have changed forever when their bizarre love triangle plays out in unexpected ways a year later in the East Village," according to press notes.

Red Light Winter, it should be noted, contains nudity and explicit sexual situations.

The Barrow Street Theatre is located at 27 Barrow Street, at the corner of Seventh Avenue South. Tickets ($65) will be available through Telecharge at 212: 239-6200, or www.telecharge.com.
