The Lyons, Starring Linda Lavin and Dick Latessa, Extends at Off-Broadway's Vineyard Theatre

The world premiere production of Nicky Silver's The Lyons has extended at off-Broadway's Vineyard Theatre. The play will now run through November 11 instead of the previously announced October 30 closing date. Opening night is set for October 11.

Directed by Mark Brokaw and starring Linda Lavin and Dick Latessa, The Lyons follows a family grappling with the imminent death of its patriarch. When Rita (Lavin), the wife of Ben Lyons (Latessa), and their grown children (played by Michael Esper and Kate Jennings Grant) gather to say goodbye, they learn that despite being a family, each of them is utterly isolated. Ben’s death may be a catalyst that propels them into foreign territory—human connection.

The production also features Gregory Woodell and Brenda Pressley.
