HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS AND THEN KILL THEM Opens 10/23 at Rattlestick

By:

Rattlestick Playwrights Theater Artistic Director David Van Asselt and Managing Director Brian Long have announced that Halley Feiffer's How to Make Friends and then Kill Them, directed by Kip Fagan, will begin previews Wednesday, October 23 at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, 224 Waverly Place. Opening night is Thursday, November 7, 2013. How to Make Friends and then Kill Them runs through December 8th.

Left to their own devices by their alcoholic mother, Ada and Sam cultivate an insular world into which they soon draw a third wheel - a pockmarked, limping wallflower named Dorrie. In the years spanning childhood to young adulthood, these three troubled girls learn to lean on each other completely, finding ways to fill each other up and to tear each other down. But when a horrible accident turns their reality upside down, they find they must decide whether they will continue to foster their familiar, codependent cycle, or whether they will break free, with or without each other's aid.

The cast of How to Make Friends and then Kill Them is Katya Campbell, Keira Keeley, and Jen Ponton.

How to Make Friends and then Kill Them plays Mondays and Wednesdays at 7pm, Thursdays and Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays at 2pm and 8pm, and Sundays at 7pm at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, 224 Waverly Place, west of Seventh Avenue South, between West 11th and Perry Streets.
