Exclusive Edward Albee Series Continues with MARRIAGE PLAY and FINDING THE SUN
The Black Box, Northern NJ's incubator for new and under produced works from world-class artists, is proud to announce that Edward Albee: FROM A TO ZOO will continue on Wednesday June 28th at 7:30PM with FINDING THE SUN (1987) and MARRIAGE PLAY (1987).

In association with The Estate of Edward Albee, The Black Box presents Edward Albee: FROM A TO ZOO, AN EXCLUSIVE STAGED READING SERIES OF Edward Albee'S PLAYS.  This exclusive undertaking will cover the masterworks to the rarely and almost never seen - and some hidden gems from the Albee canon. The monthly series began in May with THE SANDBOX (1959) and THE AMERICAN DREAM (1960).
 
 
Directed by BB Artistic Director Matt Okin, the second evening's cast features BB Rep Co regulars Michael Gardiner, Danielle MacMath, Ilana Schimmel, J Niles, Maggie Peccorino, and Justin Jager, with Production Stage Manager Eva Burke.
Each play reading is followed by a conversation with the cast, director, and Jakob Holder, Executive Director of The Edward F. Albee Foundation and Mr. Albee's longest serving assistant. Additional guests will soon be announced. General admission seating is FREE yet limited for each evening in this series. Following the June selection, mark your calendars for THE MAN WHO HAD THREE ARMS (1982) on Monday July 24.

Starting Fall 2021 The Black Box sought press-worthy, artistically satisfying opportunities to save our Northern NJ theater during the height of the pandemic.  This led to The Black Box’s incubation of new and under-produced plays offered to us by world-class artists such as Eric Bogosian, Paul Schrader, Beth Henley, Craig Lucas, Neil LaBute, John Guare, and Caridad Svich. Collaborations are underway with The Estates of Sam Shepard and IB Singer as well as with artists including Craig Lucas & Craig Carnelia, Nicky Silver, Migdalia Cruz, John Lahr, Daniel Handler, Ken Levine, Ishmael Reed, Billy Martin, and Halley Feiffer.
