Gina Gionfriddo's Susan Smith Blackburn Prize-winning play U.S. Drag opened Off-Broadway at the Beckett Theatre March 1.

According to press notes, U.S. Drag "is a dark comedy about two recent college grads on the hunt for love, money, meaning, and Ed – New York's most elusive serial attacker."

The playwright celebrated opening night with director Trip Cullman and cast members. The ensemble features Tanya Fischer, Logan Marshall-Green, Rebecca Henderson, Lisa Joyce, James Martinez, Lucas Papaelias, Matthew Stadelmann and Audrey Lynn Weston.
