===============================

 

After months of preparation, Jan Ewing's new play,
NURSERY RHYMES
will premiere at the NYWinterFest 2019 Play Competition in New York City on January 14th & 16th @ 9:00pm, and January 19th @ 6:00pm. The venue is the lovely Hudson Guild Theater at 441 West 26th Street (between 9th & 10th Avenues) in Chelsea. Click here for TICKETS.

A romp into the concerns of 21st-Century parenting. For months, 30-somethings Irene and Chip Mangus have argued about having a late child. She wants one, he doesn’t. Looking for help, Irene invites Frank and Marge Stevens to an arm-twisting party.  Marge gave birth at thirty-eight. Her son is now twelve, so Irene expects support. But, Chip is prepared, Marge is menopausal, and it’s always dangerous to assume anything.

 

Starring Colleen White as Irene, Patrick Hamilton as Chip, Ashley Formento as Marge, and J. Michael Baran as Frank, NURSERY RHYMES is a funny look into a subject that is more relevant every day. It’s stylish, thought-provoking, and moving. Won’t you join us for our premier and help us move on to the next level.
