Photo Flash: In Rehearsal with Lesser America's TREVOR at Theater for the New City

Trevor is a show-biz chimp whose career is on the rocks, and who, despite biting a woman in the supermarket parking lot last week, still has dreams of a TV comeback with Morgan Fairchild. He lives alone with Sandra, a middle-aged widow. Sandra knows it was a fluke, that Trevor would never do anything to hurt anybody, especially not paranoid next-door neighbor Ashley and her precious newborn baby. Trevor is a new play about fame, success, and the lies we tell ourselves in order to keep people from taking away our erratic, 200-pound chimpanzee.

TREVOR, presented by Lesser America in residence at Theater for the New City (155 1st Avenue between 9th and 10th Street) will play a three-week engagement February 28-March 17; Thursday through Sunday at 8pm. Tickets ($18; $15 students) may be purchased online at www.smarttix.com or by calling 212-868-4444.
