Union Squared, a new romantic comedy by David Singer, will get a run in the New York International Fringe Festival Aug. 22-30 in Greenwich Village.

"In this hilarious romantic comedy," according to production notes, "Rachel gets a text message from her Wall Street executive husband, Brad that was intended for his mistress, Shannon. Meanwhile, Brad courts his mother, Sophie to release an inheritance that he hopes can save him from his marital and financial messes. Brad soon learns that seduction can backfire — especially with a savvy Jewish mother involved."

Jose Zayas (The House of Spirits at Spanish Repertory; assistant director of Talk Radio, Come Back, Little Sheba on Broadway) directs a cast that features Carlina Ferrari, Anita Keal, Annie Meisels and Levi Sochet.

The creative team includes set designer Jason Simms, sound designer David Margolin Lawson and lighting designer Evan Purcell.

The work is produced by Bay Bridge Productions and Laura Wagner.

Performances play The Players Theatre, 115 MacDougal Street at Minetta Lane. Performances will play Aug. 22 at 3:45 PM, Aug. 23 at 8:30 PM, Aug. 26 at 3:15 PM, Aug. 27 at 10:15 PM and Aug. 30 at 1:15 PM.
