ROUNDABOUT BLOG

It is my great pleasure to announce that the first production of the 2013-2014 Season at the Laura Pels Theatre will bring back the entire company of Joshua Harmon’s Bad Jews for an Off-Broadway remount after their sold-out run in the Black Box this season. It is incredibly satisfying to see an Underground show make the move upstairs. And with Tracee Chimo, Michael Zegen, Molly Ranson, and Philip Ettinger returning to the roles they originated, I know our audiences will enjoy seeing the fireworks fly once again. Daniel Aukin will return to direct along with the fantastic original design team.

I am also excited to announce the full roster for the 2nd Annual Roundabout Underground Reading Series, which presented the first public reading of Bad Jews last season. The Recommendation by Jonathan Caren, Swimmers by Rachel Bonds, Tinker to Evers to Chance by Mat Smart, Shiner by Christian Durso, and Benefit of the Doubt by Kate Gersten will each be presented over the week of February 25th – March 1st in the Black Box Theatre. A limited number of tickets to the reading series will be available to general public. These tickets can be reserved by emailing undergroundreadings@roundabouttheatre.org

It is great to see the new play development program so present at the Steinberg Center for Theatre, from the first look at a crop of new plays in the Reading Series, to The Unavoidable Disappearance of Tom Durnin premiering at the Pels this Spring, through to the first Off-Broadway transfer of our own Underground production next season.

I encourage you to sign up to be part of Roundabout’s Email Club as members will be notified first about ticket availability for the 2013-2014 Season.
