The production will have an official opening Oct. 13 and a run through Nov. 1 at Ars Nova (511 W. 54th Street).
Joining Friedman are Hannah Bos (The Open House at Signature Theatre), Chris Lowell (“Private Practice,” “Veronica Mars”) and Paul Thureen.
The Debate Society, comprised of long-term collaborators Bos, Butler and Thureen, has been Ars Nova’s Company-in-Residence since 2012 and received a commission as well as ongoing developmental support to create Jacuzzi.
Here's how it's billed: "In the Marshall family's peacefully remote Colorado ski chalet, Erik (Thureen) and Helene (Bos) are making themselves very much at home. So at home, they just might stay for good. At the edge of civilization, the lifestyles of the rich collide with the lifestyles of the aimless in the bubbling waters of a hot tub."
Jacuzzi will include scenic design by Laura Jellinek, costume design by Jessica Ford, lighting design by Bradley King, sound design by M.L. Dogg and prop design by Noah Mease. Tickets go on sale Sept. 3 and begin at $15 for special preview pricing, $35 for all regular performances.
