Shows for Days, Starring Patti LuPone and Michael Urie, Opens at Lincoln Center Theater

Lincoln Center Theater's world premiere production of Shows for Days, a new play by Douglas Carter Beane, celebrated its opening night on June 29.

The backstage comedy began performances June 6 at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater under the direction of Jerry Zaks.

Shows for Days follows Car (Michael Urie), a 14-year-old native of Reading, Pennsylvania, introduced to the world of theater at his local community theater, the Prometheus, an organization led by Irene (Patti LuPone), a force of nature who directs, designs, and stars in every play. The show is described as author Douglas Carter Beane’s "fond remembrance of his immersion into a life in the theater." The cast also includes Dale Soules, Jordan Dean, Lance Coadie Williams, and Zoë Winters.

Shows for Days features sets by John Lee Beatty, costumes by William Ivey Long, lighting by Natasha Katz, and sound by Leon Rothenberg.
