Directed by Daniel Aukin, the production runs through Aug. 28 and features a cast that includes Saffron Burrows, Eisa Davis, Glenn Fitzgerald, Gilles Marini and Darren Pettie.
At the center of This is Jane (Burrows), who is, according to press notes, "a widow and single mom, who along with her circle of three friends, is warily approaching 'middle age.' As Jane’s long time friends—a jazz singer and carpenter struggling as new parents and an eccentric mnemonist, attempt to help Jane come to terms life without her husband, they begin to realize the unhappiness and lack of fulfillment in their own lives."
Here's a first look at the show:
