Joshua Harmon's We Had a World begins its Off-Broadway run at New York City Center Stage II via Manhattan Theatre Club February 25. Opening night is March 19.
The production has also extended its run. Previously set to end April 13, performances will now continue through April 27.
The cast includes Tony winner Joanna Gleason (Into the Woods) as Renee, Andrew Barth Feldman (Dear Evan Hansen) as Joshua, and Jeanine Serralles as Ellen. Understudies Sam Primack, Courtney Balan, and Glynis Bell round out the company. Casting is by Kelly Gillespie.
The new work follows a dying woman who calls upon her grandson to write a "bitter and vitriolic" (according to press notes) play about their family, ultimately invoking past family fights, cruelty, and love. Tripp Cullman is directing.
The production features scenic design by John Lee Beatty, costume design by Kaye Voyce, lighting design by Ben Stanton, original music and sound design by Sinan Refik Zafar, and wig and make-up design by Tommy Kurzman. Bess Marie Glorioso is production stage manager.
