Giovanna Sardelli (Taking Flight, Earth Girls Are Easy) directs the new work which will open July 27 for a run at the series' uptown home, the McGinn/Cazale Theatre, through Aug. 12. All This Intimacy centers on "a lusty 30-year-old poet who finds himself embroiled in several simultaneous relationships [with] his sweet girlfriend, his God fearing 40-year-old neighbor and his 18-year-old student."

Gretchen Egolf (Jackie, Ring Round the Moon), Adam Green (Awake and Sing! - Arena Stage), Amy Landecker (Apartment 3A, Bug), Kate Nowlin (Shockheaded Peter, Valparaiso), Krysten Ritter ("Veronica Mars," Kenneth Lonergan's upcoming film "Margaret") and Thomas Sadoski (Reckless, This Is Our Youth).

Joseph's previous work includes Huck and Holden, which recently played at the Cherry Lane Theatre as Theresa Rebeck's 2005 Mentor Project selection, and Scenes From Childhood.

The Uptown series kicked off this year with Anton Dudley's Getting Home starring Marcy Harriell, Brian Henderson and Manu Narayan. David Schweizer (Wintertime, Songs From an Unmade Bed) directs.
