New Year's Eve

Apr 14, 2009 - May 11, 2009

By Arthur Laurents
Directed by David Saint

What does a smart, funny star do when everything is turning into a bad joke on her? George Street Playhouse Artistic Director David Saint directed the world premiere of this sophisticated new comedy by Tony Award winning playwright Arthur Laurents. New Year’s Eve will run April 14 through May 10, with Opening Night set for Friday, April 17, 2009.

Mr. Laurents, who is currently represented on Broadway with the Tony Award Winning revival of Gypsy, is perhaps best known for penning the book for West Side Story and screenplay for The Way We Were.

Under the leadership of Artistic Director David Saint and Managing Director Mitchell Krieger, George Street Playhouse is a nationally recognized theatre, presenting an acclaimed mainstage season while providing an artistic home for established and emerging theatre artists. Founded in 1974, the Playhouse has been represented by numerous productions both on and Off Broadway – recent productions include Anne Meara's Down the Garden Paths, the Outer Critics Circle, Drama Desk and Drama League nominated production of The Spitfire Grill and the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning play Proof by David Auburn which was developed at GSP during the 1999 Next Stage Series of new plays. In addition to its mainstage season, GSP's Touring Theatre features five issue-oriented productions that tours to more than 250 schools in the tri-state area, and are seen by more than 80,000 students annually.

George Street Playhouse programming is made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, and by funds from the National Endowment for the Arts.
