This, Melissa James Gibson's tale of the complicated life of a single mom who is a promising poet, played by Julianne Nicholson, has started its world premiere engagement at Playwrights Horizons.

From the Obie Award-winning author of [sic] and Suitcase comes the new "un-romantic comedy," directed by Obie Award winner Daniel Aukin. Opening night is Dec. 2 at 7 PM at Playwrights Horizons' Mainstage Theater at 416 W. 42nd Street. The limited engagement plays to Dec. 13. Joining Nicholson in the cast are Louis Cancelmi, Eisa Davis, Glenn Fitzgerald, and Darren Pettie.

According to Playwrights Horizons, "In This, Jane (Julianne Nicholson) is not okay. She's a promising poet without a muse, a single mother without lessons to pass along. Her dating life's a shambles, and her helpful friends are only helping make things more complicated. This bright, witty, un-romantic comedy captures the uncertain steps of a circle of friends backing their way into middle age."
