A.R. Gurney's The Wayside Motor Inn will extend off-Broadway through October 5. The production had previously been set to complete its limited engagement on September 21 after officially opening on September 4. Directed by Lila Neugbauer with a cast that includes Tony nominee Marc Kudisch, the show is playing at The Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre at The Pershing Square Signature Center.
Outside Boston, 10 people—some strangers, some not—struggle with the circumstances that have brought them to the Wayside Motor Inn. With old grudges and new feuds threatening the travelers’ peace, the play examines the tenuous space between loneliness and connection, and the fragile framework of the American Dream.
In addition to Kudisch, the cast features Kelly AuCoin, Jon DeVries, Quincy Dunn-Baker, Rebecca Henderson, Jenn Lyon, Lizbeth Mackay, David McElwee, Ismenia Mendes and Will Pullen.
