Too Much, Too Much, Too Many will play through Jan. 5, 2014, at Roundabout's 62-seat Black Box Theatre, at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre.
The cast and creative team will be announced at a later date.
"Bittersweet, poignant and touchingly funny," Too Much, Too Much, Too Many, according to press notes, "is a compelling new drama about the walls we build to protect our hearts — and deciding when it’s time to break them down. Following the death of her husband, Rose locks herself in her bedroom for the better part of a year, leaving her daughter Emma to care for her through the closed door. When the church sends a pastor to help coax Rose out of her room, he soon finds that Rose is not the only one using barriers to hide her true feelings."

Roundabout Underground is an initiative to "showcase new plays that will either allow an experienced director to go back to his/her creative roots or give a debut production to an emerging writer or director." Robyn Goodman (artistic consultant to the Roundabout) curates the initiative. The Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre is located at 111 West 46th Street.
