Mile Square Theatre's THE NET WILL APPEAR Moves Off-Broadway

Mile Square Theatre, Hudson County's leading professional theatre, moves its hit world premiere production of The Net Will Appear, by Erin Mallon, to the Off-Broadway venue 59E59 Theater in a co-production with The Collective NY. The Net Will Appear is a heartwarming comedy of an unlikely friendship between the feisty 9-year-old Rory and her septuagenarian neighbor Bernard, played by film, TV, and stage actor Richard Masur.

Seventy-five-year-old Bernard (Richard Masur) finds quiet solitude on his rooftop, until one day his new neighbor, 9-year-old Rory (Dasha Dakkuri and alternate Eve Johnson), discovers him and demands his attention. She eventually earns his friendship, and the two save each other from their lonely worlds below. The Net Will Appear is a comedy full of heart where two wonderfully eccentric people find true friendship.

MST Artistic Director Chris O'Connor says of the show, "Our production last year of The Net Will Appear was by far our most successful show ever. People came back to see this wonderful play 2 and 3 times! We are thrilled to move the show to an Off-Broadway venue and to bring it to a New York audience. The play depicts a unique friendship; two characters, wildly different, find each other from atop their suburban rooftops and forge a beautiful friendship. We are also thrilled that Richard Masur is returning to play the role of Bernard opposite two talented young actresses; Dasha Dakkuri and alternate Eve Johnson. Audiences are in for a real treat."

Written by Erin Mallon & Directed by Mark Cirnigliaro, the creative team brings together resident MST designers Matthew Fick (sets) and Peter Fogel (costumes), Justin Partier and Jenn Burkhardt (lighting), plus original sound design by Sean Hagerty (A Christmas Carol, told by Charles Dickens).
