Another notable Off-Broadway offering is MCC Theater's world-premiere staging of Still Life, currently in previews at the Lucille Lortel Theatre.

Alexander Dinelaris' work follows a photographer who inexplicably shuts down at the pinnacle of her career. Lost, and afraid to even pick up a camera, her sudden descent is interrupted by a whirlwind romance with a trend analyst who becomes determined to help her move on, even while facing his own dark future.

The cast includes Dominic Chianese, Halley Feiffer, Ian Kahn, Adriane Lenox, Kelly McAndrew, Sarah Paulson, Matthew Rauch and Frederick Weller.  Will Frears directs.
