Playwrights Horizons celebrated the opening of Craig Lucas' Prayer for My Enemy Off-Broadway Dec. 9.

Bartlett Sher (The Butterfly Collection, South Pacific) directs the New York premiere at Playwrights Horizons' Mainstage Theater.

Victoria Clark, Michele Pawk, Jonathan Groff, Cassie Beck, Zachary Booth and Skipp Sudduth star in the work.

"In Prayer for My Enemy, a hell of a night for the Noones finds father Austin (Sudduth) watching his nature shows and trying to keep from falling off the wagon, mother Karen (Pawk) keeping an eye on Austin, son Billy (Groff) just back from Iraq, and pregnant daughter Marianne (Beck) upset about the state of her marriage to Tad (Booth), Billy’s childhood friend who may still harbor a crush on him," according to show notes. "As an enigmatic outsider, Dolores (Clark), relates a tale of taking responsibility for her ailing mother, an American family’s long-held secrets are dragged to the fore in what may be its final reckoning."

Here are some photos from the party at New York City's West Bank Cafe:
