This, a new play by Melissa James Gibson, starring Julianne Nicholson (well-known to TV audiences as Detective Megan Wheeler on "Law & Order: Criminal Intent,") opens tonight in a world premiere engagement at Playwrights Horizons. From the mind of the Obie Award-winning playwright Melissa James Gibson, comes the new "un-romantic comedy," directed by Obie Award winner Daniel Aukin. Preview performances began November 6th at PH's Mainstage.

Joning the aforementioned Ms. Nicholson onstage is a cast featuring the talents of Louis Cancelmi, Eisa Davis, Glenn Fitzgerald, and Darren Pettie.

According to Playwrights Horizons, "In This, Jane (Julianne Nicholson) is not okay. She's a promising poet without a muse, a single mother without lessons to pass along. Her dating life's a shambles, and her helpful friends are only helping make things more complicated. This bright, witty, un-romantic comedy captures the uncertain steps of a circle of friends backing their way into middle age."

The limited engagement is slated through December 13.

Best to all involved.
