Adam Rapp's Essential Self-Defense Opens Off-Broadway

Pulitzer finalist Adam Rapp's (Blackbird, Red Light Winter) latest offering, Essential Self-Defense, opened on March 28 in a co-production between Playwrights Horizons and the hip Edge Theater Company. The grim and modern fairy tale features a rocking on stage band playing original songs co-written by Rapp, Ray Rizzo and Lucas Papaelias and star performances from Paul Sparks and Tony nominee Heather Goldenhersh (on break from filming TV's The Class). After their opening night performance, Rapp, the cast and some celeb friends headed across the street to the Westbank Cafe for some wine and celebratory fun. Take a look!
