MCC Theater's world premiere of Caroline, penned by Preston Max Allen (We Are the Tigers) and directed by Tony winner David Cromer (Dead Outlaw; Good Night, and Good Luck), has extended its Off-Broadway engagement by two weeks.

The production, which began previews September 13 at MCC Theater’s Susan & Ronald Frankel Theater, was originally scheduled to conclude October 19. Performances will now continue through November 2. Opening night remains September 30.

The cast features Amy Landecker (Bug, Transparent) as Rhea and Chloë Grace Moretz (The Peripheral, The Miseducation of Cameron Post) as Maddie, both returning to the New York stage for the first time in over a decade. The duo is joined by River Lipe-Smith (Geva Theatre’s A Christmas Carol), in their New York debut, as Caroline. Casting is by The Telsey Office and Caparelliotis Casting.

The new play follows Maddie, who is forced to seek the help of her long-estranged mother and finds herself unable to shield her daughter Caroline from the circumstances that fractured their family.

The production also has scenic design by Lee Jellinek, costume design by David Hyman, sound design by Christopher Darbassie, lighting design by Tyler Micoleau, voice, text, and dialect coaching by Gigi Buffington, makeup design by Suki Tsujimoto, hair and wig design by Robert Pickens, and properties supervision by Samantha Shoffner.

Nicole Johnson, Em Chester/Harriet Tubman Effect is the DEI consultant, and Kelly Martindale is the production stage manager.

Caroline is produced by special arrangement with Tom Kirdahy Productions.
