The Acting Company announce Loves’ Labour’s Won, a benefit performance of the hilarious Shakespearean sequel by Alice Scovell, staged by Award-winning director Brian Isaac Phillips. The one-night only reading will take place on Monday, September 15 at 7:00 PM at The Kaye Playhouse at Hunter College. Proceeds will benefit The Acting Company’s national tour and education initiatives, which reach tens of thousands of students and audience members in more than a dozen communities annually.
The all-star cast features Steven Boyer (Broadway’s Kimberly Akimbo, Hand to God (Tony nom) and Time and the Conways), Christian Conn (Broadway’s Desire Under the Elms and The Acting Company’s Taming of the Shrew and Pudd’nhead Wilson), Ismenia Mendes (LCT3’s Marys Seacole, Netflix’s “Orange is the New Black”) and Sarah Stiles (Broadway’s Tootsie (Tony nom), Hand to God (Tony nom), On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, Avenue Q, and Showtime’s “Billions”).
Shakespeare’s sequel, Love’s Labour’s Won, has been lost to time. Until now. With an assist from playwright Alice Scovell, three couples—on the cusp of marriage, torn apart for a year—are finally reunited. Still, a lot can change in a year. Happy endings aren’t guaranteed, but maybe they can be won.
Tickets range from $50-$500. Sponsorship packages are available for $5,000. For sponsors and premium ticket holders, the evening will include a post-performance reception with the artists. For tickets and information, visit theactingcompany.org/benefit.
The Kaye Playhouse at Hunter College is located at East 68th Street, between Park and Lexington Avenues, NYC
