Knickerbocker
Meet Jerry.
He's about to become a father.
Does he look ready to you?
KNICKERBOCKER
A new comedy by Jonathan Marc Sherman
Directed by Pippin Parker
Featuring Mia Barron, Alexander Chaplin, Bob Dishy, Christina Kirk, Drew Madland, Zak Orth, and Ben Shenkman.
May 6 - 29
Three weeks only!
"Are you ready?" Jerry
confronts this question from the womb of his favorite restaurant booth
while the months pass by and the son he and his wife Pauline are
expecting grows from the size of a peach to the size of...a baby. As
the due date approaches, can friends and family members help Jerry feel
prepared, or just feel worse, like some un-anonymous sperm donor
terrified of making the transition from being the son of a father to
being the father of a son? Staged just blocks from the titular
restaurant where it is set, the latest play by Jonathan Marc Sherman (Things We Want, Women and Wallace) is sharp, funny, and deeply felt.
