TACT/The Actors Company Theatre's revival of T.S. Eliot's The Cocktail Party celebrated its Off-Broadway opening night March 17.



The play is directed by TACT co-artistic director Scott Alan Evans and features fellow co-artistic directors Cynthia Harris and Simon Jones. Rounding out the cast are TACT members Mark Alhadeff and Jack Koenig and guest artists Jeremy Beck, Ben Beckley, Lauren English, Erika Rolfsrud and Celia Smith.

In the play, "Edward and Lavinia Chamberlayne are throwing a party at their fashionable London flat. The guests arrive only to discover that their hostess is nowhere to be found and a rather strange man [played by Jones], unknown to all, acts right at home. Ruthless, compassionate and funny, this 'Cocktail Party' embodies the day-to-day struggles of domestic life while turning the classic 'drawing room comedy' on its head."

Here's a look at the opening night:
