Annie Baker's John, Starring Girls’ Christopher Abbott, Extends Before Opening Off-Broadway

The world premiere of John, the first show of Pulitzer winner Annie Baker’s residency at Signature Theatre, has extended off-Broadway. Originally set to shutter on August 30, the production will now play through September 6. Directed by Fun Home Tony winner Sam Gold, the show will star Girls’ Christopher Abbott and Tony nominee Lois Smith, Emmy nominee Georgia Engel and Hong Chau.

John takes place in a Gettysburg, Pennsylvania bed and breakfast the week after Thanksgiving. It follows a cheerful innkeeper, a young couple struggling to stay together and the thousands of inanimate objects watching.

Performances will run from July 22 at the Irene Diamond Stage at the Pershing Square Signature Center. Opening night is set for August 11.
