Some Americans Abroad Delays Opening Night

The opening night of Second Stage Theatre's revival of Richard Nelson's Some Americans Abroad has been delayed from July 15 to July 24. The theater cited an abbreviated rehearsal period with the play's full company as the reason for the change. Directed by Gordon Edelstein, Some Americans Abroad is currently in previews at Second Stage's off-Broadway theater.

In Some Americans Abroad, a group of partying American college students and their idealistic professors embark on a literary tour of England. With a crammed itinerary and barely enough time to digest the sites, the students' behavior devolves from appreciative to appalling while the professors confront the emptiness beyond their idealism in this comedy about what it means to make choices and stick with them.

Some Americans Abroad features Emily Bergl, Tom Cavanagh, John Cunningham, Fiona Dourif, Halley Feiffer, Enid Graham, Cristin Milioti, Pamela Payton-Wright, Anthony Rapp, Corey Stoll, and Todd Weeks.

The production has scenic design by Michael Yeargan, costume design by Jennifer von Mayrhauser, lighting design by Donald Holder, and original music/sound design by John Gromada.
