About

It's Only a Play
Written by Terrence McNally I Directed by Stephen DiMenna

A fast-paced, laugh-out-loud comedy that celebrates - and lovingly skewers - the theatre world.

On the opening night of The Golden Egg, wealthy producer Julia Budder hosts a lavish Manhattan party. Downstairs, celebrities are arriving, but upstairs, the playwright, director, leading lady, and other insiders anxiously await the first reviews.

As egos clash and ambitions run wild, hilarity ensues in this sharp, affectionate look at the highs and lows of show business. With a venomous critic and an eager newcomer thrown into the mix, It’s Only a Play reminds us: in the theatre, sometimes the real drama happens offstage.

“This show is without a doubt hilariously, sidesplittingly funny…These are among the funniest lines to roll off a stage in years…IT’S ONLY A PLAY deserves only a rave.” - The New York Times.
