“Never work with animals or children.” W.C. Fields delivered those words of wisdom to adult actors, and if the great screen comic were alive today, he might add to that short list of taboos a young actor’s name: Michael Rishawn. He walks away with the new Douglas Lyons comedy “Table 17” even though he’s a supporting player. The play had its world premiere Friday at MCC Theater.

Disclaimer to rom-com haters: “Table 17” is not for you. It is, however, for a lot of us — fans of the genre and anyone to whom theater of late has felt more arduous than entertaining. This is a play that wants you to have an amusing, untaxing evening out, and everything about Zhailon Levingston’s alluringly designed production, with its top-notch cast of three, is calibrated in service of that aim.
The World Premiere of MCC Theater's Table 17 by Douglas Lyons and directed by Zhailon Levingston opened at MCC Theater last night, Friday, September 6th. Previously extended through September 22, Table 17 will now play through Sunday September 29 at MCC Theater’s Susan & Ronald Frankel Theater. See what the critics had to say!
