Ted Greenberg, the Emmy-winning Letterman writer whose long-running solo show The Complete Performer has been a staple at the Soho Playhouse for the past eight years, will debut his latest comedy show Off-Broadway this October at The Marjorie S. Deane Theater.

Greenberg writes and stars in Ace, which draws on his own experiences as a New York City taxi driver in the 1980s. The new solo play will begin performances October 1 ahead of an October 10 opening night.

Elizabeth Margid directs Greenberg’s five-week engagement through November 5.

In Ace, Greenberg takes audiences back to December 18, 1987, “the nine-year anniversary of Ted Greenberg's long overdue college paper on Edmund Spenser's The Fairie Queene. On that snowy Friday, Ted drives a New York City cab while his father Ace Greenberg runs Wall Street. Ted has one screaming deadline in front of him: turn the paper in by midnight or lose his chance to graduate from Harvard. Forever. It will take a wild ride through the Big Apple, his past and with a white collar felon before he’s able to come to grips with whether to be a dropout or not to be a dropout.”

The creative team includes Guy de Lancey (set/lights), Becky Bodurtha (costumes), Luqman Brown (sound), Jolene Noelle (associate director), Mary Hodges (movement), Francesco Giocamarra (assistant sound) and Fatimah Amill (production stage manager). The production's creative producer is Lanie Zipoy.

Tickets are $75, and can be purchases by visiting acetheplay.com. The Marjorie S. Deane Theater is located at 10 West 64th Street, NYC.
