Photo Flash: Abingdon Theatre Company Presents LIFELINE, Opening 3/18

By:

Abingdon Theatre Company - which has produced 65 new American plays in its 18-year history - concludes its 2011-2012 Season with the world premiere of LIFELINE, a new play by Frank Tangredi, winner of the 2008 Christopher Brian Wolk Award, set to begin previews March 9, prior to its official press opening March 18, at the Abingdon Theatre Arts Complex's Dorothy Strelsin Theatre (312 West 36th Street). Jules Ochoa, who recently helmed HOW I FELL IN LOVE and PHANTOM KILLER, directs.

Check out the production photos below!

In LIFELINE, when good-hearted Pete rents his basement to depressed, unstable Ken, there seems to be potential for a wonderful friendship. But, as he delves into Ken's world, Pete uncovers problems that might not be solved with a game of poker and a six-pack.

LIFELINE co-stars Lori Gardner (BLAME IT ON BECKETT at Abingdon, THE DEEP THROAT SEX SCANDAL), Obie-winner Carole Monferdini (THE CLUB, directed by Tommy Tune, VAMPIRE LESBIANS OF SODOM), Buzz Roddy (Off-Broadway's PERFECT CRIME), Brian Wallace (THE GOOD NEGRO at Public Theater), and Brit Whittle (LYRIC IS WAITING).

The production has scenic design by David Arsenault; lighting design by Travis McHale; sound design by Ian Wehrle; and costume design by Kimberly Matela. The Production Stage Manager is Mark Hoffner.

LIFELINE runs March 9-April 1 at the Abingdon Theatre Arts Complex's Dorothy Strelsin Theatre (312 West 36th Street): Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7pm; Friday and Saturdays at 8pm; with 2pm matinees on Saturdays and Sundays (with the following exception: opening, Sunday, March 18 at 5pm). Tickets are $25. For tickets and more information about Abingdon Theatre Company (312 West 36th Street, between 8th and 9th Avenues), call 212-868-2055 or visit www.abingdontheatre.org.
