Photos: First Look at FIVE PRESIDENTS at Bay Street Theater

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 for an additional week due to popular demand. The production will now run from June 23-July 19.

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.

The cast stars John Bolger (Twelve Angry Men, South Pacific, Macbeth), Mark Jacoby (Ragtime, Show Boat, Sweeny Todd), Martin L'Herault (Godspell, Of Mice and Men, The Merchant of Venice), Reese Madigan (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Death of a Salesman), Steve Sheridan (Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Drew Carey Show), Britt Whittle (30 Rock, Glass Menagerie).
