Special Offer - True Stories at the Cherry Lane Theatre

Brought up in the deep South as an Orthodox Jew, son of a famous doctor — Elvis Presley's proctologist — Steve Wruble is expected to follow his father into the bowels of the rich and famous. Instead, Steve becomes a psychiatrist, divorces his wife and pivots from strict religion, and begins a hilarious and compelling journey into uncharted waters.

Off-Broadway is back and better than ever, with countless new shows soon opening across Manhattan and beyond. BroadwayWorld is helping you pick what to see next by rounding up our top recommended theatre each month. Coming up this May is a Sondheim classic, a world premiere, and so much more!

In-person screenings in the Browning Cinema will be restricted to a limited number of Notre Dame students, faculty, and staff and will take place Thursday, April 29 – Sunday, May 2.

Theater Resources Unlimited (TRU) presents the April Panel Solo Strategies: Finding Your Story (and the People Who'll Want to Hear It) on Tuesday, April 21, 2020 via Zoom.

Jon Cryer and more will lead True Stories at the Cherry Lane Theatre, April 28 to May 17, 2020.

A struggling actor decides God wants him to be a monk; a woman's parents swing through the 1960s with wild key parties and martinis leaving her asking, "Which one is my father?"; a renowned psychiatrist faces his own daddy-issues; a girl from out West finds that the search for perfect love has turned her into a wandering, reckless cowboy; and a performer learns to embrace the absurd as his career teeters on the brink. These are stories told with heart, humor, and the searing honesty that can only happen when your past catches up with you and all that is left is the truth.
