Performances begin June 7 for Cherry Lane Theatre's production of First Love by Charles Mee. Leading the cast are Academy Award nominee Michael O’Keefe (The Great Santini) and Angelina Fiordellisi (Out of the Mouths of Babes), who play a couple in their sixties who fall in love fort the first time in their lives.

Kim Weild, who directed Mee’s acclaimed Soot and Spit, directs the Off-Broadway production. Taylor Harvey completes the cast.
