MCC Theater has again extended its upcoming world premiere of Table 17 by Douglas Lyons (Chicken & Biscuits) prior to opening.
Directed by Zhailon Levingston (Cats: The Jellicle Ball), previews began August 14, prior to an official opening September 6. Originally scheduled through September 15, the production will now continue an extra two weeks through September 29 at MCC Theater’s Susan & Ronald Frankel Theater.
The production stars 2024 Tony winner Kara Young (Purlie Victorious), Biko Eisen-Martin (soft), and Michael Rishawn (Ain’t No Mo’). The new play follows the once-engaged Jada and Dallas, who reunite for dinner to hash out their romantic past.
Table 17 also features scenic design by Emmy winner Jason Sherwood (Caroline, or Change), costume design by Devario D. Simmons (Bees & Honey), lighting design by Tony nominee Ben Stanton (The Notebook), sound design by Christopher Darbassie (The Apiary), wig design by Tony winner Nikiya Mathis (Jaja's African Hair Braiding), and makeup by Earon Nealey (Fat Ham).
Andrew Diaz (Illinoise) is the props supervisor, Tre Matthews (The Return of Young Boy) is the composer, Ann James (Pass Over) is the intimacy coordinator, and shiku thuo is the production stage manager.
Table 17, commissioned in 2022 by New Works Provincetown, is presented in association with Jeffrey Richards and Mark Cortale.
