Nancy Manocherians the cell, under the Artistic Direction of Kira Simring today announced that it will collaborate with Pittsburgh-based alternative theater company Off the WALL Productions to present the world premiere production of HOARD, a new play by Lissa Brennan, directed by Brian Reager, at the cell, 338 W. 23rd St. New York, NY April 2-18, 2020. Featured in the two-hander are Virginia Wall Gruenert and Erika Cuenca. www.thecelltheatre.org

Starring off the WALL productions' Executive Artistic Director Virginia Wall Gruenert and Associate Artistic Director Erika Cuenca, local playwright Lissa Brennan has crafted a story written precisely for these two actresses. This play is not for the faint of heart; Brennan has done her research. Both Viv and Claire have emotional skeletons in their closets, though some are more visible than others. Viv's 'things' in her house serve to protect her just as the 'walls' in Claire's heart. Each woman is wounded, guarding her pain, neither wishing to reveal it until it is unwillingly pried out of her fingers. Brennan skillfully unravels the story of these two strangers with wit, compassion and venom.
