PARTY? Opens at Theater for the New City

"Party?" a new comedy by Anne Marilyn Lucas that offers a fresh look at the ever-changing concept of marriage as a lifetime commitment, opened this weekend at the Theater for the New City, 155 1st Avenue, New York, NY.

"We have an amazing professional director and actors," said playwright Lucas. "I was moved and thrilled opening weekend by the rounds of applause, standing ovations, and sold out theater."

"Party?" has the rare combination of humor and heart that speaks to the audience, while making them laugh," added Director Myriam Cyr.

The cast features Audrey Heffernan Meyer as Diana and Jordan Lage as Aaron, the play's middle-age couple, struggling with balancing their individual needs and making their marriage work. Alan Ceppos takes on the multi-layered role of Felix - a husband, father and grandfather. Pamela Shaw portrays Esther - his all-knowing wife of many decades.

Rounding out the multi-generational cast are Molly Chiffer as Caitlyn and Brian Mason as Jason, who bring a more contemporary view of marriage to the sharp-witted dialogue. Together, the couples provide an entertaining view of relationships.
