Justin Bartha & Elizabeth Reaser-Led Permission Extends Before Opening Off-Broadway

The world premiere of Permission will extend through June 14 off-Broadway; the show had previously been set to shutter on June 7. Directed by Alex Timbers and starring stage and screen favorite Justin Bartha and Emmy nominee Elizabeth Reaser, the Robert Askins comedy will begin performances on April 29. Opening night is scheduled for May 20 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre.

Permission tells the story of Eric and Cyndy, a couple who decide to follow the leads of their friends and make Christian Domestic Discipline the foundation of their marriage. The new moral code upends everything they knew about one another, their friends and more importantly, who really holds the paddle.

The MCC production's cast will also include Nicole Lowrance, Talene Monahon and Lucas Near-Verbrugghe.
