"I've worked in many different theaters all over New York, and I can honestly say that I've never worked with such outstanding professionals as Manhattan Rep. Many theaters only preach their philosophy, but Manhattan Rep truly lives it, by taking a chance on the writer and the work, and fostering creativity and collaboration.
I'm so grateful the good people at Manhattan Rep exist, and that I've had the honor of being a part of their mission."
- LIZA LENTINI, playwright -

THIS WEEK!
Two teenage girls in Catholic school: one pregnant, one clueless.
And the nun who tries to save them both, WITHOUT the help of Jesus. 
If love were as simple as black and white,
then we’d never get to enjoy the rainbow.
But are you strong enough to endure the storm?
The Well-Wishers are just your normal support group,
standing by each other and doing good in the community.
Right?
What goes on behind closed doors? How do we hide madness behind domesticity?
Was that a freaking python? In two plays, Next Door explores the hilarity of what happens when our masks begin to slip and we are forced to come to terms with our lives and our lies.
Set in 1954, "The Tupperware Convention" is about a utopian housewife
as she prepares for her annual Tupperware party and discovers that a cracked bowl reveals an imperfect life.
The Day After Yesterday:
The past is something you can never escape, when you least expect it,
it makes it's return to the present day.
Our past experiences have now become our present once again,
Yesterday is now once again.....Today.
