Photos: TWO STRANGERS (CARRY A CAKE ACROSS NEW YORK) Opens at A.R.T.
Performances will run through July 13, 2025.
A.R.T.’s North American premiere of Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) is playing now at the Loeb Drama Center through July 13, 2025. See photos from opening night!
A naïve and impossibly upbeat Brit, Dougal, has just landed in New York for his dad’s second wedding—the dad he’s never known. Robin, the sister of the bride, is at the airport to pick him up—and she’s late for work. Hungry for an adventure in the city he’s only seen in movies, Dougal hopes native New Yorker Robin will be his guide. This new musical balances life’s sweetness and struggle as Dougal and Robin discover the meaningful impact on each of their lives a stranger can make.
Christiani Pitts and Sam Tutty star in the A.R.T. production of the West End hit Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York). Phoenix Best and Vincent Michael are understudies.
