Known for its workshops, readings of new works and its performance conservatory, CAP21 is now also a producing organization with its own space, the CAP21 Theatre on 28th Street. Performances continue to March 29. Joining the respected Prinz (who starred in the national tour of Driving Miss Daisy and is known to "As the World Turns" fans as Penny) is Alexandra Geis, Brenda Thomas, Eliza Ventura and Van Zeiler, under the direction of Michael Montel.

The play is billed this way: "Set in the home and in the mind of the ailing, 89-year-old Louise (played by Prinz), the play confronts questions of conscience, law and morality when she asks her best friend to help her die."

Designers are Beowulf Boritt (set), David F. Segal (lighting), Jane Greenwood (costumes) and Randy Hansen (sound). Scott Wise (State Fair, Fosse, Movin' Out) stages a dance sequence in the play, which was seen in CAP21's development reading series over the past two years.

Performances at CAP21 Theatre, 15 W. 28th Street. Previews began March 4. Performances play 8 PM Tuesdays-Saturdays.

Tickets are $19. For reservations to Killing Louise, call the CAP21 box office at (212) 807-0202.
