UPTOWN EXPRESS Adds Show Dates At Chain Theatre
Performances are on July 12 at 5pm, July 13 at 2pm, July 17 at 8:30pm, July 23 at 8:30pm, July 26 at 2pm, and August 2 at 5pm.
Uptown Express, a new play written by Kevin Cheng has announced three additional show dates at the 2025 Chain Theatre Summer One-Act Festival.
The production, directed by Ciera Miller (Asst. Director of HADESTOWN 2nd National Tour, Edinburgh Fringe), will be presented in both Program #9 and Program #23 in the festival. Performances are on July 12 at 5pm, July 13 at 2pm, July 17 at 8:30pm, July 23 at 8:30pm, July 26 at 2pm, and August 2 at 5pm.
The play features Kevin Cheng as Noah and Maria Jose Payares as Zoe, with Emma Harlow being the understudy. Harlow will take the stage at the July 13 and July 26 performances.
The MTA subway train is late again. As Noah waits impatiently on the platform, an unexpected Old Acquaintance arrives. Uptown Express explores individual loneliness in big cities, and asks the question: how can we find a sense of equanimity in face of unexpected life events?
The Chain Summer One-Act Festival is now a cornerstone of New York City's theater scene. Past festivals have featured works by Academy Award winner Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network, A Real Pain), Academy Award and Pulitzer Prize winner John Patrick Shanley (Moonstruck, Doubt: A Parable), Tony Award winner David Rabe (Sticks and Bones, HurlyBurly, Casualties of War), as well as Emmy winner Cady McClain (Beyond the Gates, Law and Order: SVU) who is returning this summer to star in John Thompson's WHAT HAPPENED WAS, directed by legendary Obie and Drama Desk Award-winner Austin Pendleton (Between Riverside and Crazy, Orson's Shadow).
Tickets are available through the Chain Theatre website, with a special 20% discount using the code "UPTOWN25."
