April 01, 2026 By Margaret Hall

Andrew Barth Feldman, whose Broadway credits include Dear Evan Hansen and a controversial engagement in Maybe Happy Ending, will direct the New York premiere of Trey Everett's Obit.

Staged by Ever Productions, Obit. will have a limited 16-performance engagement at East Village Basement from May 14-30. Opening night is set for May 18.

Feldman (No Hard Feelings, We Had A World) will direct a cast that includes Loren Lester, Carson Higgins, Jerusha Cavazos, and Kerstin Anderson.

Obit. centers on an anxious soon-to-be father as he returns to his estranged dad’s chaotic New York apartment to settle his affairs. As he’s pulled into the unraveling mind of a man he thought he’d already said goodbye to, Obit. explores dementia, generational inheritance, and the fear of becoming one's parents, while asking what, if anything, we leave behind when memory fails.

Obit. will mark Feldman's New York directorial debut. He will lead a creative team that includes scenic designer Nessa Scabuzzo, lighting designer Wheeler Moon, costume designer Amanda Roberge, and production stage manager Emme Yehle. The production assistant is Nicole Yagar.
