Nepo baby and grandbaby Ella Stiller plays the titular role—a privileged young woman who spirals out in the wake of an ex-classmate's death—in Julia Randall’s intimate new play, in which Stiller shares the stage with two other young rising stars: Christopher Briney (The Summer I Turned Pretty) and Chiara Aurelia (Hysteria!), who will leave the show on July 13 to replace Sadie Sink in Broadway's John Proctor Is the Villain. Alex Keegan directs the world premiere. 

In the manner of A.R. Gurney's Love Letters, rotating pairs of veteran actors co-star in Michael Griffo's epistolary two-hander, which traces the long-distance friendship between two women (one American, the other British) over the course of five decades, starting in the 1950s. After a successful winter run, director SuzAnne Barabas's production returns for an encore with some of the same performers. Nancy McKeon (The Facts of Life) and Gail Winar (Trans Scripts) share the stage from August 15 through August 31; after that come Michelle Clunie and Megan Follows (Sept 2–14), original Angels in America costars Kathleen Chalfant and Ellen McLaughlin (Sept 17–28), Kate Burton and Pauletta Pearson Washington (Oct 15–26) and Sharon Lawrence and Maureen McCormick (Nov 12–23).
