Gallery Theater Opens 2019 Season With IT'S ONLY A PLAY

It's the opening night of The Golden Egg on Broadway, and the wealthy producer Julia Budder (Holly Spencer) is throwing a lavish party in her Manhattan townhouse. Downstairs the celebrities are pouring in, but the real action is upstairs in the bedroom, where a group of insiders have staked themselves out to await the reviews.

The group includes the excitable playwright (Jeff Sargent); the possibly unstable wunderkind director (Seth M. Renne); the pill-popping leading lady (Lesli Okorn), and the playwright's best friend (Philip Van Cleave), for whom the play was written but who passed up this production for a television series. Add to this a drama critic (Norm Tognazzini) who's panned the playwright in the past and a new-in-town aspiring actor (Noah Miller), and you have a prime recipe for the narcissism, ambition, childishness, and just plain irrationality that infuse the theatre. But don't worry: This play is sure to be the hit they have all been hoping for.
