ORDER extends at Theatre Row!

Oberon Theatre Ensemble is pleased to announce that its world premiere production of ORDER by Christopher Stetson Boal (23 Knives, Crazy for the Dog) has been extended one-week, after receiving fantastic industry and audience response. Directed by Tony Award nominee Austin Pendleton, ORDER is currently playing at Off-Broadway’s Kirk Theatre at Theatre Row (410 W 42nd St). With the extension, performances continue through Saturday, July 3rd.

“I think the play is about the fact that any one of us, if the proper buttons were pushed, could go irreversibly nuts at any moment” –shares Mr. Pendleton of Boal’s new play –“his play is funny and disturbing all at once, and thus full of very many and different possibilities in performance.”

ORDER is the darkly hysterical and ultimately tragic story of Thomas Blander, a former philosophy teacher determined to be mild and polite in a violent and greedy world, whose plan is upended when he's possessed by a creature claiming to be an ancient entity of power and hunger.  The creature (real? imagined?) brings an entirely new philosophy to Blander - undeniable lust for power and insatiable appetite - that ultimately includes dining on his enemies - and his friends.

The production features James Edward Becton*, Gabe Bettio*, Mac Brydon*, Brad Fryman*, William Laney*, Amanda Plant*, Ryan Tramont and James Washington*.
