Relevance Photos - Off-Broadway

MCC Theatre presents Relevance, a play by JC Lee, which opens this Sunday, February 25, 2018 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre.  Tony Award winner Jayne Houdyshell (The Humans) is Theresa Hanneck, a celebrated author and veteran feminist warrior. Tony nominee Pascale Armand (Eclipsed) is Msemaji Ukweli, a promising young writer who is quickly becoming the leading cultural critic on race, class, and gender for a new generation. When a heated exchange between the two women goes viral, Theresa finds herself ill-equipped to manage her message in the social media era-especially against a rival whose time may have come. Directed by Tony nominee Liesl Tommy (Eclipsed), a collision of ideals within the feminist movement propels JC Lee's riveting drama from breathless start to surprising finish.

MCC Theater (Robert LuPone, Bernard Telsey, William Cantler, Artistic Directors; Blake West, Executive Director) will soon present the third show of its 2017-18 season: the World Premiere of Relevance, written by J. Lee ('How to Get Away With Murder,' 'Looking') with direction by Tony Award nominee Liesl Tommy(Eclipsed).
