\u201cThis doesn\u2019t seem like your kind of place -

I dunno. You don\u2019t look like you eat a lot of crappy deli meat.\u201d

Through a haze of gin, mediocre roast beef, and horrible apartment parties, a grieving New Yorker finds herself drawn to a quirky, flirtatious friend-of-a-friend. Hurtling through time, ANNIVERSARY by Rachel Bonds (PoA\u2019s Winter Games, Goodnight Nobody) follows a journey back to love.

Ensemble Studio Theater\u2019s Linsay Firman directs Sarah Sokolovic (\u201cBig Little Lies,\u201d PoA\u2019s The Blizzard), Michael Esper (Lazarus, PoA\u2019s Rules of Comedy), Sue Jean Kim (Office Hour, PoA\u2019s 52nd to Bowery\u2026), and Tony nominee Steven Boyer (Hand to God, PoA\u2019s If You Win). After the play, playwright Bonds joins host Claudia Catania to discuss her roots as a writer.
