Audible Theater Announces
Four Performance Extension of
Drinking In America
Now Playing Through Thursday, April 13 Only
At Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre
Audible Theater has announced four additional performances of Drinking in America, written by three-time Obie Award winner Eric Bogosian, starring Andre Royo (The Wire), and directed by Mark Armstrong. The edgy, entertaining, thought-provoking show opened last night at the Minetta Lane Theatre, Audible’s creative home for live performances in New York. Drinking in America will also be recorded and released on Audible at a later date, extending its reach to millions of listeners around the world.
Tickets for the added performances are on sale now at Audible:
Monday, April 10 at 7PM
Tuesday, April 11 at 7PM
Wednesday, April 12 at 7PM
Thursday, April 13 at 7PM
Audible Theater is proud to collaborate with TodayTix to offer $20 mobile rush tickets beginning at 10am each performance day. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis exclusively through the TodayTix app.
Drinking in America is a gritty, muscular restaging with Mr. Royo bringing to vivid life over a dozen colorful characters, each in the throes of intoxication. This critically acclaimed work takes on a new persona in our present day, with terms like toxic masculinity and male fragility at the forefront of the zeitgeist. In this new interpretation, Drinking in America continues to challenge society’s ideal of what exactly makes a man, and just how easy it can be to break that same man down. Bogosian returns to the Minetta Lane for the first time since his 1994 Obie Award-winning play, Pounding Nails in the Floor.
