Bay Street Theater Extends FIVE PRESIDENTS

Bay Street Theater is pleased to announce that FIVE PRESIDENTS, the new play by Emmy Award-winning writer Rick Cleveland (Six Feet Under, The West Wing, and House of Cards), will extend its run again for an additional week due to popular demand. The production will now run through July 26. Matinees at 2 pm on Wednesdays and Sundays. Special matinee on Saturday, July 25 at 2 pm. There will be no evening performance on July 25. Instead there will be a Comedy Club night with Darrell Hammond at 8 pm.

FIVE PRESIDENTS is a funny and incisive new drama is about the meeting of America's most exclusive club - the ex-presidents. Obliged to gather together on the day of Richard Nixon's funeral, four "exes" and one "current" vent frustrations, revisit old grievances, and reveal the toll that it takes on any person foolish enough to seek the highest office in the land.

"It has been thrilling to watch audiences respond with such enthusiasm to Rick Cleveland's new play," says Scott Schwartz, Artistic Director at Bay Street, "The actors are marvelous and each performance has been both entertaining and thought provoking. I am delighted Bay Street will now offer more opportunities to see this East Coast premiere."
