Photo Flash: First Look at THE COTTAGE, Opening Tonight at Queens Theatre

Queens Theatre (QT) presents Sandy Rustin's THE COTTAGE, a romantic comedy directed by Adam Dannheisser (Rock of Ages, resident director/performer). THE COTTAGE, which returns to Queens after a successful run at the Astoria Performing Arts Center, will play a two week limited engagement at Queens Theatre (14 United Nations Avenue South, Flushing Meadows Corona Park). Performances begin tonight, November 7 and continue through Sunday, November 16. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

THE COTTAGE is a rollicking farce in the style of Noel Coward. Set in the English countryside in 1923, this tale of sex, betrayal and, oh yes, love, unfolds when a beautiful British bird decides to expose her love affair to her husband and her lover's wife. The true meanings of fate, identity and marriage are called into question as a surprising, hilarious web of secrets unravels in this delightful-and potentially murderous-romantic comedy.

The production stars Daniel Bielinski* (Macbeth, Classic Stage Company) as Richard, Maria Couch* (On the Levee, Lincoln Center) as Marjorie, Michelle Federer* as Sylvia, Bailey Frankenberg as Dierdre, Jason Loughlin* (1st Nat'l Tour: War Horse) as Beau, and Justin Packard* as Clarke.
