Joshua Harmon’s Significant Other to Receive World Premiere in Roundabout Production Off-Broadway

From Bad Jews to bad dates! Joshua Harmon’s Significant Other will make its world premiere this spring in a Roundabout Theatre Company production. Helmed by Trip Cullman, performances will begin in May at the Laura Pels Theatre in the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre. Full cast, creative team and dates for the limited off-Broadway engagement will be announced soon.

A quarter-life coming-of-age story that’s as hilarious as it is heart-wrenching, Significant Other takes us into the trenches of single life in the city. Jordan Berman would love to be in love, but that's easier said than done. So until he meets Mr. Right, he wards off lonely nights with his trio of close-knit girlfriends. But as singles' nights turn into bachelorette parties, Jordan finds that supporting the ones you love can be just as impossible as finding love itself.

Roundabout’s relationship with Harmon began when his play Bad Jews was selected for the inaugural Roundabout Underground Reading Series for Emerging Playwrights in February 2012. The play then premiered at Roundabout Underground’s Black Box in fall 2012, before moving upstairs to the Laura Pels in fall 2013, where it enjoyed a critically acclaimed extended engagement. In addition to Significant Other, a third Harmon play is in development, commissioned by Roundabout, with workshops set to begin in 2015.
