Keen Company’s plans for their 18th Season were announced today by Artistic Director Jonathan Silverstein. He said, “. . . This year we will present two very different stories about the ties that bind. This fall, Steven Dietz’s landmark play Lonely Planet. Steven’s play is a beautiful testament to the value of friendship during a time of crisis. In the spring, we will present A.R. Gurney’s Later Life, our third Gurney play in Keen’s history having previously produced The Dining Room in 2008 and The Old Boy in 2013. While we mourn the recent passing of our dear friend and collaborator, we are honored to be able to reunite with his deeply human characters in a story of lost love, told with Pete’s singular theatrical flair.”
Performances for Lonely Planet begin Tuesday, Oct 3rd, and continue through November 18th only.
Performances for Later Life begin Tuesday February 27th, and continue through Saturday April 14th, only.
All performances will be at The Clurman Theatre at Theatre Row (410 West 42nd Street, between 9th and 10th Avenues) and will be Tuesday through Thursday evenings at 7pm; Fridays at 8pm; Saturdays at 2pm & 8pm; and Sunday matinees at 3pm.
