Update #2: Triumphant opening night for MIRACLE DAY
MIRACLE DAY had a nothing-short-of-magical opening night. Great house, rocking with laughter, sustained standing ovation. The play delivered what it's meant to: enthrallment, hotness, hilarity, surprise. The writer/director/co-producer/worrier-in-chief is hugely relieved. We have been extended-- the show will now run until June 15, and wel have an option to run longer if we continue to do well at the box office. Of course this makes the Kickstarter campaign even more important; we can use it to cover the added costs of the extended run. Thank you from all of us for your support.

Update #1: MIracle Day news
MIRACLE DAY has moved onto the set built for THE COMMON AIR, the (wonderful) play we are sharing space with at 45 Bleecker. This beautiful structure, designed by Casey Smith, surrounds the play in a half-circle of translucent panels. It's a perfect, adaptable, abstract arena for the action of the play, and Perchik Kreiman-Miller's lighting design for COMMON AIR offers rich possibilities for suggestions of different environments. Ken Rich has delivered our sound design as well, a series of detailed but subtle soundscapes that will suggest the different settings of the play. The Epicures are creating exciting, incredibly evocative music; Yana Davydova's electric guitar work is just plain thrilling. The cast is off book and we are barreling ahead, and the writer-director (me) is in hog heaven watching everyone come into their own. I'm steering them gently but also letting them make their own discoveries. It's all hard work but great fun. Thank you for your support.
