Lillis' Two Thirds Home Runs Off-Bway July 21-Aug. 12

Broken Watch Theatre will present the World Premiere of Padraic Lillis's Two Thirds Home, directed by Giovanna Sardelli. Performances begin July 21, opening July 26 through August 12, 2007 at the Michael Weller Theatre (311 W. 43rd St, 6th Floor).

"Sharing secrets makes us intimates, building a life around them sets us apart. We find Michael and Paul in their childhood home, following their mother's funeral, with Sue, her lover, revealing truths that will strain their relationships and the identity they have built for themselves," as described in press materials.

The cast features: Peggy J. Scott (Film: Finding Amanda, Theatre: Everybody's Ruby [Public Theatre], TV: 'Rescue Me'), Aaron Roman Weiner (Film: Osso Bucco) and Ryan Woodle (Film: The Bonnie Situation).
