Here's how Second Stage bills the play: "At an age when most people are discovering what they want to do with their lives, Porter has been married and divorced, earned seven figures as a corporate 'ninja,' and had a nervous breakdown. It's been four years since he's had a job or a date, and he's decided to give life another shot. Lonely, I'm Notis a comic journey that follows Porter as he meets an ambitious young businesswoman who is overcoming her own obstacles to emotional success."

Grace starred in Weitz's 2004 romantic film comedy, "In Good Company," opposite Dennis Quaid and Scarlett Johansson. Thirlby appears opposite Robert DeNiro and Paul Dano in Weitz's upcoming film, "Being Flynn," opening March 2.
