NCTC Extends BUYER & CELLAR

By:

Due to overwhelming critical and audience response, New Conservatory Theatre Center has extended the hilarious hit Barbra comedy Buyer and Cellar by Jonathan Tolins, starring acclaimed performer and frequent NCTC collaborator, J. Conrad Frank. Originally scheduled to close on April 24th, Buyer & Cellar will now play for an additional two weeks, through May 8, 2016.

Tickets for the ten performances added are available at nctcsf.org or by calling (415) 861-8972.

In this uproarious comedy, an unemployed actor is thrust into a close relationship with Barbra Streisand when he is hired to watch over a mall of shoppes she has built in a cellar on her Malibu compound. Soon it begins to take a toll on his patience, his love life, and his view of people (who need people). As Entertainment Weekly declares, "This show will go down like 'butta'!"

The creative team of Buyer & Cellar includes direction by Rebecca Longworth, scenic design by Devin Kasper, costume design by Wes Crain, lighting design by Keira Sullivan, sound design by Sara Witsch.
