Stars Shine In the Wake of a Top-Notch Opening Night

The stars of Lisa Kron’s In the Wake were riding high on November 1, when the articulate and ambitious play opened off-Broadway at the Public Theater. The year is 2000, and Marin Ireland stars as Ellen, an uber-political New York liberal who rails against the contested presidential election but can’t see the blind spot at the center of her own politics and emotional life. Broadway.com was there on opening night to celebrate the talented In the Wake team with the Public's friends and fans, and they kept the party going at the nearby Crash Mansion. Take a look!
