Lucy Teitler's Engagements Extends Before Opening Off-Broadway

Good news for our recent #LiveatFive guest Jennifer Kim! The New York premiere of Engagements will extend off-Broadway through August 20; the production was previously scheduled to run through August 14. Directed by Kimberly Senior and penned by Lucy Teitler, the dark comedy is in previews at Second Stage Theatre’s McGinn/Cazale Theatre uptown and will open officially on August 4.

Along with Kim, the cast includes Ana Nogueira, Omar Maskati, Michael Stahl-David and Brooke Weisman as Catherine.

It’s summer in New England and every weekend is someone else’s engagement party. The wildflowers, specialty cocktails, and artisanal appetizers are totally Instagram-worthy, but the people are not quite so perfect. One night, Lauren takes it into her own hands to make sure that her best friend doesn’t marry an inadequate suitor—a drunken mistake that incites a cascade of calamities, threatening to expose all of Lauren's secrets.
