The Balusters Tickets: David Lindsay-Abaire's New Broadway Comedy
The Balusters is a new comedy by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire, directed by Tony winner Kenny Leon at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. The play is a sharp, funny look at what happens when a minor neighborhood dispute spirals into all-out war.
The Story
When a newcomer to the Vernon Point Neighborhood Association proposes installing a stop sign on the enclave's prettiest block, the neighbors split into warring factions. What should be a simple municipal decision becomes an absurd battle involving historically inaccurate porch railings, trash can protocols, and deep-seated grievances that have been simmering for years. Lindsay-Abaire, whose Kimberly Akimbo won both the Tony and the Pulitzer, brings his signature blend of comedy and emotional insight to suburban warfare.
Cast and Creative Team
Directed by Kenny Leon, the cast features Renee Elise Goldsberry, Richard Thomas, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Margaret Colin, and Marylouise Burke. This is a Manhattan Theatre Club production.
