The Signature Theatre Company revival of David Henry Hwang's Golden Child has extended its limited run at off-Broadway’s Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre. Directed by Leigh Silverman, the production will now run through December 9, instead of the inital December 2 closing date. Golden Child will begin performances October 23, with an official opening night on November 13 at the Pershing Square Signature Center.

Golden Child explores the often-painful struggle of a Chinese family faced with the change of Westernization.
