THE ONE/FIFTH Debuts as Part of SoHo Playhouse's 2024 Lighthouse Series

Lisa Lewis' THE ONE/FIFTH, directed by Timothy Koch, debuts tonight as part of SoHo Playhouse's 2024 Lighthouse Series!

The cast includes Michael Mullen, Sarah Nedwek, JoAnna Ross and Sam Willett.

When Jess asks her married twin brother if he'll provide the sperm for her and her wife's future baby, long-buried secrets and complex desires are unearthed, as both couples must grapple with the question of when--or even if--they want to take the plunge into parenthood. THE ONE/FIFTH is a hilarious and deeply moving exploration of what happens when a messy modern arrangement puts everyone's relationship under the microscope.

Performances take place on Tuesday April 30 at 7pm, Thursday, May 2 at 9pm and Sunday, May 5 at 4pm at SoHo Playhouse, located at 15 Vandam Street in New York City.
