The Vineyard Theatre (108 East 15th Street) concludes its 24th season with the world premiere of Stopping Traffic, a new play written and performed by Mary Pat Gleason and directed by Lonny Price. Previews began on May 24, and the show opened on June 7th.

Stopping Traffic "is one woman's comic odyssey: Mary Pat Gleason, an actress who has performed countless roles in film, television and theater, candidly relives this true-story about her life-long experiences with bipolar disorder. The play is an audacious high-wire act that takes theatergoers on a tour of Hollywood, New York and the human heart," according to press notes.

Gleason most recently appeared onscreen in the film The Island. Other film credits include The Crucible, Soap Dish, Basic Instinct, Lorenzo's Oil, 13 Going on 30 and A Cinderella Story. She has also appeared in guest spots on numerous television series including "Desperate Housewives," "Will & Grace," "Sex and the City" and "Malcolm in the Middle."

Tickets are $50. For reservations, call the box office at 212-353-0303 or log onto www.vineyardtheatre.org.
