Right at the corner of decorum and disaster.

David Lindsay-Abaire’s newest play The Balusters has its world premiere tomorrow night (March 31) at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. The raucous comedy features Marylouise Burke, Kayli Carter, Ricardo Chavira, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Margaret Colin, Michael Esper, Maria-Christina Olivera’s, Anika Noni Rose, Richard Thomas, and Jeena Yi. Opening night is April 21 for a limited run through May 24; Kenny Leon directs. 

“The Vernon Point Neighborhood Association is a passionate bunch, whether squabbling over historically inaccurate porch railings or debating trash can protocol. Still, no one is prepared for the neighbor-versus-neighbor battle royale that ensues when a newcomer to the board suggests the unthinkable: installing a stop sign on the corner of the enclave’s prettiest block.”

Who’s going?
