Tony nominee and American Idol alum Constantine Maroulis and more have been tapped for the world premiere of Sofia Alvarez’s Friend Art off-Broadway. Directed by Portia Krieger, the production will begin previews on May 17 at Second Stage Theatre’s uptown home, the McGinn/Cazale Theatre. Opening night is scheduled for May 26.
Joining Maroulis (Rock of Ages) as Nate will be Zoe Chao (Sideways) as Molly, Aaron Costa Ganis (Bareknuckle) as Kevin and Anabelle LeMieux (Love is the Pearl) as Lil.
Kevin and Molly are a 30-something couple about to get married. Their best friend Nate just broke up with Lil, his much younger performance artist girlfriend. The group is navigating Gotham living at varying levels of success, which inevitably means attending friends’ basement art shows. In this comedy we're confronted with what it means to support the art and decisions your friends make, regardless of what it does to your friendships.
