MCC Theater's world premiere of Table 17 by Douglas Lyons (Chicken & Biscuits) officially opens Off-Broadway September 6 following previews that began August 14.

Directed by Zhailon Levingston (Cats: "The Jellicle Ball"), the production was recently extended through September 29 at MCC Theater’s Susan & Ronald Frankel Theater.

The cast features 2024 Tony winner Kara Young (Purlie Victorious: A Non-Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch, Clyde’s, The Cost of Living), Biko Eisen-Martin (MCC’s soft), and Michael Rishawn (Ain’t No Mo’). The new play follows the once-engaged Jada and Dallas, who reunite for dinner to hash out their romantic past.

Table 17 also has scenic design by Emmy winner Jason Sherwood (Caroline, or Change), costume design by Devario D. Simmons (MCC’s Bees & Honey), lighting design by Tony nominee Ben Stanton (The Notebook), sound design by Christopher Darbassie (The Apiary), wig design by Tony winner Nikiya Mathis (Jaja's African Hair Braiding), and makeup by Earon Nealey (Fat Ham).

Andrew Diaz (Illinoise) is the props supervisor, Tre Matthews (The Return of Young Boy) is the composer, Ann James (Pass Over) is the intimacy coordinator, and shiku thuo is the production stage manager.

An open caption performance will be held September 11. A Patron Night will be held September 10.

Table 17, which was commissioned in 2022 by New Works Provincetown, is presented in association with Jeffrey Richards and Mark Cortale.
