ROPE Extends for Two Weeks at The New Group

Due to demand, The New Group just announced an additional two weeks for Rope, a new adaptation by Gordon Greenberg, based on the play by Patrick Hamilton, which was inspired by the Leopold and Loeb murder case.  Originally slated through December 6, this production now plays a limited Off-Broadway engagement through December 20.  Directed by Scott Elliott, this world premiere features Corey Fogelmanis, Elizabeth Gillies, Jason Butler Harner, Cameron Monaghan, Graham Phillips and James Waterston, with this original cast slated to appear through December 6.  Additional detail and schedule for performances December 6 – 20 to be announced. Previews began October 13 in advance of Official Opening Night on Tuesday, November 3 at the Theater at St. Clement’s (423 West 46th Street).  

Garrett Stern (Cameron Monaghan) and Nate Singer (Corey Fogelmanis) are two beautiful, brilliant, and dangerously bored Princeton grad students, who throw a dinner party in their chic Turtle Bay apartment – on top of a trunk containing their murder victim.  Newly adapted by Gordon Greenberg from the play that inspired the iconic Hitchcock film, this sharp-witted and sexually aggressive thriller arrives Off-Broadway in a production from The New Group, directed by Scott Elliott.  

This production features Corey Fogelmanis (Girl Meets World) as Nate Singer, Elizabeth Gillies (Broadway: 13) as Leila, Jason Butler Harner (Ozark) as Rupert Cadell, Cameron Monaghan (Shameless) as Garrett Stern, Graham Phillips (Broadway: 13) as Richard Raglan and James Waterston (Dead Poets Society) as Judge Kentley.  Scenic Design is by Derek McLane.  Costume Design is by Catherine Zuber.  Lighting Design is by Jeff Croiter.  Sound Design is by Leah Gelpe.  Wig Design is by Tom Watson.  Intimacy/Fight Direction is by UnkleDave’s Fight-House. Production Stage Manager is Valerie A. Peterson.  Production Supervisor is Five Ohm.  Casting by Geoff Josselson Casting, Geoff Josselson, CSA; Felicia Rudolph, CSA.

Earlier this year The New Group – the acclaimed, artist-driven theater company known for producing adventurous and contemporary work – moved to its new home at the Theater at St. Clement’s, one of the original venues of the Off-Broadway movement.  The move to the historic Theater at St. Clement’s – where the company previously produced more than two decades ago – lays the groundwork for long-term vision, risk-taking and deeper community engagement.
