Sam Gold (Kin, Circle Mirror Transformation) directs the production, to begin Sept. 22 (opening Oct. 12) at MTC's Off-Broadway home at City Center Stage I (131 West 55th Street). Tickets are on sale through Oct. 30.

The play is described this way: "Allie Bateman's (Jessica Collins) wedding to Sandy (Jeremy Shamos) is Sunday. When Dinah (Betty Gilpin), her precocious younger sister, returns to their parents' (Mark Blum and Amy Irving) home for the festivities, she brings more than anyone expected: a new boyfriend (Oscar Isaac), whose hidden history resurrects passions and painful memories for the whole family. Over one emotionally charged weekend, the Batemans must acknowledge and accept loss to gain hope for regeneration."

This is the New York playwriting debut of Kazan, best known as an actress (Broadway's Seagull, A Behanding in Spokane and Come Back, Little Sheba). We Live Here is an MTC-commissioned work, billed as "an incisive and beautifully rendered portrait of a contemporary family coming together through grief and celebration."
