Photo Flash: First Look at Mae Whitman, York Walker and More in THE MYSTERY OF LOVE & SEX at the Taper
Award-winning playwright Bathsheba Doran's heartfelt new work, THE MYSTERY OF LOVE & SEX, is currently in previews and opens this Sunday, February 21, 2016, at 7 p.m. at the Center Theatre Group/Mark Taper Forum. Performances continue through March 20. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
Directed by Robert Egan (Artistic Director/Producer of the Ojai Playwrights Conference), the production features, in alphabetical order, Sharon Lawrence ("NYPD Blue," "Rizzoli and Isles," "Poor Behavior" at the Taper), David Pittu ("Is He Dead?" and "LoveMusik," Broadway; "Parade," national tour), Robert Towers ("The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "1776," national tour), York Walker ("One Night in Miami," Denver Center; "Napoli," ACT; "A Raisin In The Sun," California Shakespeare Theater) and Mae Whitman ("Speech and Debate," The Blank Theatre; the film "The Duff" and TV's "Parenthood").
Insightful and compassionate, THE MYSTERY OF LOVE & SEX is the story of four people whose lives are inextricably intertwined. Charlotte and Jonny are two college students who have been friends since they were nine years old. Attending college together, they contemplate taking their relationship to a romantic level, but Charlotte's parents don't take the news very well, and an onslaught of uncomfortable truths about all four of them is unleashed.
Scenic design is by Takeshi Kata, costume design is by Laura Bauer, lighting design is by Rui Rita, original music and sound design is by Karl Fredrik Lundeberg and casting is by Meg Fister. The production stage manager is David S. Franklin.
