MTC’s The American Plan Extends Broadway Run One Week

Manhattan Theatre Club’s Broadway production of Richard Greenberg’s The American Plan has been extended. Starring Tony and Academy Award-winner Mercedes Ruehl and Lily Rabe Heartbreak House, Steel Magnolias, the play was schedule to end its limited-engagement run at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre on March 15. It will now play through March 22, directed by David Grindley.

The production also stars Kieran Campion Pygmalion, Journey’s End, Austin Lysy A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Delacorte and Brenda Pressley The First Breeze of Summer.

First produced off-Broadway by MTC in 1990, The American Plan tells the story Lili Adler Rabe and her mother Eva Ruehl, who, in the early 60s, spend a summer in the Catskill Mountains, across the lake from a bustling resort hotel. When a handsome young stranger Campion enters their world, the emotionally fragile Lili finds herself falling in love. But once her imperious mother learns of their relationship, lies are exposed, alliances are forged and Lili's one chance to escape Eva’s control may be lost forever.

The show’s creative team includes Jonathan Fensom scenic and costume design, Mark McCullough lighting design, Darron L West & Bray Poor sound design, and Tom Watson wig design.
