HAPPY DAYS Extends Run (Again) to May 5

New City Theater's production of Happy Days, Samuel Beckett's fourth full length play and his first play with a female protagonist, runs now run through May 5th @ 8pm. The actual performance dates will be April 12-14, 19-21, 26-28 & May 3-5 at New City Theater, 1404 18th Ave (just north of Union).

Written 51 years ago, Happy Days is Samuel Beckett's prescient comic vision of our preoccupations and the earth's possible future.

Winnie (Mary Ewald) and Willie (SeanJohn Walsh) are stuck in a rut. But even though it's the end of shopping as we know it, the couple remain up-beat and maintain a full routine of stimulating activity to get them through the day. New City founding Artistic Director John Kazanjian directs the production.

Actor Mary Ewald and director John Kazanjian's staging of Samuel Beckett's work began in 1979 with their award winning production of NOT I in the Direct Theater Festival on Theater Row, New York City. Ms. Ewald recently performed in Janice Findley's productions of ROCKABY, FOOTFALLS & EH JOE at New City and Mr. Kazanjian has previously staged KRAPPS LAST TAPE and ACT WITHOUT WORDS II.
