Rhea Perlman took over the role of Nora, after Rosie O’Donnell, became ill. Directed by Scott Elliott, this production will play a limited Off-Broadway engagement February 20 – April 1, with Opening Night on Thursday, March 8 at The Pershing Square Signature Center (The Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre, 480 West 42nd Street). Through the microcosm of a rural Connecticut mental health center, Tony Award-winning playwright David Rabe conjures a whole American community on the edge. Like their patients and their families, Dr. Michaels (Ed Harris), his colleague Evangeline (Amy Madigan) and the clinic itself teeter between breakdown and survival, wielding dedication and humanity against the cunning, inventive adversary of mental illness, to hold onto the need to fight – and to live. Inspired by a real clinic, Rabe finds humor and compassion in a raft of richly drawn characters adrift in a society and a system stretched beyond capacity.

    ! 6 YEARS Written and Directed by Hannah Fidell ! Starring Taissa Farmiga and Ben Rosenfield 80 minutes, color, U.S.A. Sales Contact: ICM/ Jessica Lacy [email protected] / (310) 550-4316 SUBMARINE/ Josh Braun [email protected] / (212) 625-1410 Press Contact: BRIGADE / Gerilyn Shur [email protected] / 917-551-5838 SYNOPSIS A young couple in their early 20s, Dan and Melanie, have known each other since childhood. Now their 6-year romantic relationship is put to the test when Dan receives an attractive job offer from the record label with whom he interns, and he must choose between a move forward and a future with Mel. Growth and temptation happen – but will their relationship remain part of their future? Writer/director Hannah Fidell explores the struggles of young love as it begins to face the next steps into adulthood. Taissa Farmiga and Ben Rosenfield give warm, genuine performances as Mel and Dan, alongside Lindsay Burdge (star of Fidell’s A TEACHER) as a colleague of Dan’s who entices him in more ways than one. HANNAH FIDELL DISCUSSES 6 YEARS I wrote 6 Years focusing on the relationship of two young adults. Who hasn’t had a first love? And who hasn’t gone through a breakup with said first love? (for those of you who are married to that first person...please ignore…) More than anything though, I modeled Dan and Mel’s world on my group of friends in college. Although, the fighting and the physical violence, that was pure fiction. The script was in great hands with Taissa and Ben.

The sirens blare. From an overhead angle, we see multiple police cars rushing towards the gates of an old house surrounded by forest. As the cars get closer there is another cut. Now we’re viewing the arrival at the house through an officer’s body camera. Blocks at the bottom of the screen identify this footage as such. The officer whose perspective we share comes upon the still smoldering bodies of two impaled and burned children. We accompany this officer into the house where she comes across several more bodies. The officer then leaves the house to find a bloody Lee Harris (Adina Porter) laying in the grass outside.

    Production Notes Starring: Kara Hayward, Liana Liberato, Jordana Spiro, Shea Whigham with Malin Akerman and Tony Hale Directed By: Martha Stephens Written By: Shannon Bradley-Colleary Run Time: 111 Minutes Rating: Not Rated Press Contacts: Katrina Wan / [email protected] / 323-240-9996 Tatum Wan / [email protected] / 818-590-1530 1 SYNOPSIS: In a god-fearing small town in 1960s Oklahoma, bespectacled and reclusive teen Iris endures the booze-induced antics of her mother and daily doses of bullying from her classmates. She finds solace in Maggie, the charismatic and enigmatic new girl at school, who hones in on Iris’s untapped potential and coaxes her out of her shell. When Maggie’s mysterious past can no longer be suppressed, the tiny community is thrown into a state of panic, leaving Maggie to take potentially drastic measures and inciting Iris to stand up for her friend and herself. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT: I heard decaying leaves chatter and scrape against the dusty storefronts. Below the suffocating vastness of prairie skies, I caught the whispers of endless rows of corn. There was the rustle of fussy dress skirts flapping against whistling winds. The sanctuary of night swimming beckoned, promising boldness and mystery. A cold trickle from wet hair dripped down the base of my spine. I knew the hardscrabble farming community of WaKeeney, Kansas: it’s the type of small American town in which a shy teenager can live out her life and end up feeling anonymous. Yearning hangs like a fog over the central characters in TO THE STARS. Maggie pines to be accepted as she is, a lesbian; or otherwise to wish away her sexuality and be the model daughter that her parents expect.
