Photo Flash: Brooklyn Boy Opens at TheatreWorks
TheatreWorks, in its 37th season, is proud to present the Northern California Premiere of Brooklyn Boy, by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Donald Margulies (Dinner with Friends, Collected Stories), currently playing at the Lucie Stern Theatre until Sunday, August 13.
"This funny, warmly human Broadway hit tells the Story of an aspiring middle-aged novelist whose career suddenly skyrockets when he becomes a national best seller," described press notes, "As his public success grows, his personal life begins to unravel, and he must decide if grabbing what he's dreamed of means letting go of what he holds dear."
Bay Area theatre veteran Joy Carlin directs a cast including Victor Talmadge, Ray Reinhardt, Amy Resnick, David Kudler, and Craig W. Marker.
Brooklyn Boy is in previews July 20 and 21, with an opening July 22. Previews performances are at 8:00PM. Regular show times are Tuesdays at 7:30PM (no performance August 8); Wednesdays through Fridays at 8:00PM; Saturdays at 2:00PM and 8:00PM (no matinee July 22, August 12); and Sundays at 2:00PM and 7:00PM (no evening show August 13). "Visual Voice" audio-described performances are available August 11 and 12 at 8:00PM, and August 13 at 2:00PM.
