The world premiere of Mrs. Murray's Menagerie, the newest show devised by The Mad Ones, will play an additional two weeks at Ars Nova at Greenwich House. In the new comedy, the creators of a 1970s children’s TV show have commissioned a focus group to probe the parents of the show’s target audience.
Previously scheduled through April 27, the production will now continue through May 11.
Mad Ones company member Lila Neugebauer directs a cast made up of fellow company members Marc Bovino, Joe Curnutte, Michael Dalto and Stephanie Wright Thompson, who are joined by Phillip James Brannon, Brad Heberlee, Carmen M. Herlihy, and January LaVoy.
