Mark Roberts' New Country Extends Off-Broadway

New Country, written by and starring Mark Roberts, has extended through June 27; it had originally been set to shutter on June 20. The off-Broadway production is playing at the Cherry Lane Theatre, where it officially opened on May 20. David Harwell directs.

In New Country, country music star Justin Spears has the world on their knees. He’s a good ole bad boy that’s tying the knot tomorrow; but tonight, he’s tying one on. He’s going to party hardy with his entourage of ruthless, calculating managers, faux fans and friends, his favorite pig-farming uncle and a plastic model.

Joining Roberts as Uncle Jim in the cast is Jared Culverhouse as Chuck, Sarah Lemp as Sharon, David Lind as Justin, Malcolm Madera as Paul and Stephen Sheffer as Ollie.
