Small Engine Repair, Starring John Pollono & James Badge Dale, Extends Off-Broadway

John Pollono’s comical and shocking New England-set drama Small Engine Repair is extending off-Broadway! Directed by Jo Bonney, the show, which opens November 20 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre, had been scheduled to run through December 8, but will now end on December 15.

Starring Pollano (Showtime's Masters of Sex), James Badge Dale (AMC's Rubicon), James Ransone (HBO's The Wire) and Keegan Allen (Pretty Little Liars), Small Engine Repair follows Frank (Pollono), Swaino (Dale) and Packie (Ransone), buddies since high school who are now past their prime. They meet off-hours in Frank’s out-of-the-way repair shop under cloudy circumstances. Enter Chad (Allen), a plugged-in, preppy college jock, whose arrival ignites an explosion of long-simmering resentment and rage in this twisty, comic thriller.

The creative team for Small Engine Repair includes scenic design by Richard Hoover, costume design by Theresa Squire, lighting design by Lap Chi Chu and sound design by Jill BC Du Boff. The play premiered in 2011 at the Rogue Machine Theatre in Los Angeles, and won the Los Angeles Drama Critics Award for Playwriting as well as an Ovation Award and three Garland Awards.
