STARRING

Shelly Bordas  — Jesse Pearlman
Dale Tagtmeyer — Gina Wencel

On the elegant deck of a beach house on Fire Island, a brother and sister and their respective spouses attempt to celebrate the Fourth of July with a gnawing uncertainty that makes their affluent habits and petty prejudices sizzle in the summer sun. In this unforgettable comedy, Terrence McNally does for the beach house what Chekhov did for the Russian country estate.

“McNally’s wit and wild comedy invariably score, and his darker intentions resonate, making LIPS TOGETHER one of his most accomplished plays.”
