The one-woman show, which officially opened Jan. 25, was scheduled to play through Feb. 12, but four weeks were added, to March 10. Its new extension takes it to March 19.
The added week comes in anticipation of a commercial transfer beyond the tiny midtown west Ars Nova venue. The move is expected to be announced shortly.

Karen Kohlhaas directs the 70 minute intermissionless play, which was co-written by Gold and Kate Moira Ryan. 25 Questions for a Jewish Mother, which was previously titled God Doesn't Pay Rent Here is, according to press notes, a "comic's personal journey to find love, laughter and acceptance as a Jewish mother with two kids and a nagging Jewish mother of her own."
The production was previously seen at the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival.
The creative team comprises Louisa Thompson (set and costume design), Jennifer Tipton (lighting design) and Jorge Muelle (sound design).
Actress-comedienne Judy Gold won two Emmy Awards for writing and producing "The Rosie O'Donnell Show."
