Limited engagement through April 30, 2017
Off-Broadway at the Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre.
Roundabout Theatre Company (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director/CEO) is thrilled to present Roundabout Underground alumni playwrightSteven Levenson’s (Dear Evan Hansen The Unavoidable Disappearance of Tom Durnin) new play, If I Forget, directed by Daniel Sullivan. The cast includes Larry Bryggman (Picnic), Maria Dizzia (“Orange is the New Black”), Tasha Lawrence (Good People),Jeremy Shamos (Noises Off), Seth Steinberg, Kate Walsh (“Grey’s Anatomy”) Gary Wilmes (Irrational Man).
If I Forget opens officially on February 22, 2017 at the Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre. This is a limited engagement Off-Broadway through April 30, 2017.
If I Forget is a sharply funny, unflinchingly honest new play about the stories we choose to believe, the compromises we can’t avoid and the hurt only our nearest and dearest can inflict.
In the final months before 9/11, liberal Jewish studies professor Michael Fischer has reunited with his two sisters to celebrate their father's 75th birthday. Each deeply invested in their own version of family history, the siblings clash over everything from Michael’s controversial scholarly work to the mounting pressures of caring for an ailing parent. As destructive secrets and long-held resentments bubble to the surface, the three negotiate—with biting humor and razor-sharp insight—how much of the past they’re willing to sacrifice for a chance at a new beginning. If I Forget tells a powerful tale of a family and a culture at odds with itself.

Along the way he encounters a world vastly different from his own, filled with chance meetings and romantic encounters that shake him to the core.

AT THE YORK THEATRE COMPANY AT SAINT PETER’S
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
The York Theatre Company (James Morgan, Producing Artistic Director; Evans Haile, Interim Executive Director; David McCoy, Chairman of the Board), dedicated to the development of new musicals and the preservation of musical gems from the past, in association with Quill Entertainment Company, as part of its acclaimed Developmental Reading Series, will present the staged reading of the new musical Conrack, based on the novel The Water Is Wide by Pat Conroy, with music by Lee Pockriss, book by Granville Wyche Burgess, lyrics by Anne Croswell, additional music by Doug Katsaros, and additional lyrics by Granville Wyche Burgess for two performances only, on Monday, February 27, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. and Tuesday, February 28, 2017 at 3:00 p.m. at The York Theatre Company at Saint Peter’s (619 Lexington Avenue, entrance on East 54th Street, just east of Lexington Avenue).
Conrack is based on Pat Conroy’s real-life story of teaching on a remote South Carolina island, where he encounters a by-the-book principal and children who can hardly read. A determined group of grandparents and the children’s own pluck pull him through—until he’s fired and must learn the value of letting go of the ones you love.
The readings are open to the public with a $10.00 advance reservation fee for each reading (Complimentary for York Theatre's Plus Members; $5 for York Theatre Members). Reservations can also be made on the day of the reading (pending availability) for a suggested $5.00 donation in person at the box office.
