Second Stage Theatre's presentation of Charles L. Mee's Wintertime — starring Marsha Mason ("The Goodbye Girl") and Michael Cerveris (Tommy, the upcoming Assassins) — has delayed its opening to March 2.

The work, which is a co-production with New Jersey's McCarter Theatre Center where the show recently played, began its Off-Broadway run Feb. 3 for a run through March 21. The show was previously set to open Feb. 23.

Wintertime follows the story of a man who is about to propose at a secluded snowbound house when he finds that his mother and her lover already occupy the cabin. As if that was not enough, the father then shows up with his boyfriend.

Marylouise Burke (Kimberly Akimbo) and Christopher Denham (Master Harold...) join the original McCarter cast — replacing Lola Pashalinski and McCaleb Burnett, respectively.

David Schweizer directs a cast that also features Tina Benko, Brienin Bryant, T. Scott Cunningham, Carmen de Lavallade, Nicholas Hormann and Danny Mastrogiorgio.

The design team for Wintertime will feature Andrew Lieberman (scenic), David Zinn (costume), Kevin Adams (lighting) and Eric Shim (sound).

For tickets to Wintertime and the 25th anniversary season at Second Stage, 307 West 43rd Street (off 8th Avenue), call (212) 246-4422 or visit www.secondstagetheatre.com.
