Relationships Take Center Stage In PARTY? at Theater for the New City This March

It's February and love is in the air as Valentine's Day approaches and couples celebrate the love and affection they share. "Party?" the new play by Anne Marilyn Lucas highlights the challenges of relationships in three generations of one family. Theater for the New City will present the play's premiere New York run from March 14 to 31, directed by Myriam Cyr. Tickets, now available at the button below, make a nice Valentine's Day gift.

"Audiences will connect with at least one of the relationships in the new work," said Jordan Lage, who portrays middle-aged Aaron. "The characters will make you laugh, but also think about your own relationship."

"'Party?' is a comedy that explores the relationships and the commitment of marriage," said playwright Anne Marilyn Lucas. "While it is about one family and how deeply each relationship impacts every member of the family, the audience will connect with the uncertainties all relationships face."

Audrey Heffernan Meyer is delighted to take on the role of Diana, Aaron's long-suffering wife, who "is always aiming to please everyone and in the beginning is willing to take a backseat to her more assertive husband. I really admire the courage she as by the end of the play."

Rounding out the cast are Pamela Shaw as Esther and Alan Ceppos as Felix, who portray the sometimes sage older couple. Molly Chiffer as Caitlyn and Brian Mason as Jason, bring a more contemporary fluid view of marriage to the sharp-witted dialogue. Combined, the three couples cover a full range of relationship issues with the perfect mix of humor and sensitivity.

Theater for the New City, is located at 155 1st Avenue, New York, NY. The production runs Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, March 14-March 31 at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 3 p.m. For tickets, click the button below, or call (212) 254-1109.
