AS OUR SEASON CONTINUES...
JANUARY-MARCH 2017
NEW YORK PREMIERE
FADE
BY TANYA SARACHO
DIRECTED BY JERRY RUIZ
Acclaimed playwright and screenwriter TANYA SARACHO (Mala Hierba at Second Stage;
writer and co-producer of the hit ABC series, “How to Get Away with Murder”) comes to
Primary Stages with the New York Premiere of Fade, a behind-the-scenes comedy about
the burgeoning friendship between Lucia and Abel, two Latinos of Mexican descent
working at a ruthless Hollywood studio. Lucia is a tenacious novelist, newly hired to write
for a TV detective series and struggling to find her place among a team of domineering
white male co-workers. Abel is one of the studio’s janitors, compassionate to Lucia’s
difficulties and generous with his opinions and personal anecdotes which keeps them in
an absorbing tête-à-tête throughout their workdays. As their bond grows, Abel’s stories
quickly blur with those Lucia is writing for the show and they both find themselves in the
center of their own not-quite-made-for-TV drama.
MARCH-MAY 2017
NEW YORK PREMIERE
DANIEL’S HUSBAND
BY MICHAEL McKEEVER
DIRECTED BY JOE BRANCATO
In MICHAEL MCKEEVER’s compelling new play, Daniel’s Husband, we see Daniel
and Mitchell enjoying life as the Perfect Couple. Perfect house, perfect friends, even a
mother who wants them to wed. What isn’t perfect is that Daniel longs to be married
and Mitchell does not. A turn of events forces both men to face the consequences of
their opposing views, and they learn that they are living in a world where fundamental
rights aren’t always so fundamental. Proclaimed by the Miami Herald as “beautifully
crafted, powerfully realized and emotionally devastating,” Daniel’s Husband takes an
unflinching look at how we choose to Tie the Knot. Or not. (Produced by Primary Stages
in association with Ted Snowdon.)
