Mrs. Murray's Menagerie

Ars Nova christens its new downtown digs at Greenwich House, formerly known as the Barrow Street Theatre, with a commissioned work by its company-in-residence: the Mad Ones, the collaborative troupe behind the widely adored Miles for Mary. Devised by the group's actors with visiting performers Phillip James Brannon, Bard Heberlee, Carmen M. Herlihy and January LaVoy, the play concerns a focus-group discussion of a 1970s kiddie-TV program. Lila Neugebauer (The Wolves) directs the world premiere.
