The Cherry Lane Theatre's current production of Scott Organ's Phoenix, starring Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Julia Stiles and James Wirt has extended its limited run by four performances. The show officially opened on 7 August 2014, following previews from 28 July and it will now close on 28 August 2014.

Synopsis: "When Bruce (Wirt) and Sue (Stiles) meet four weeks after an uncharacteristic one-night-stand, Sue has this to say to him: one, I had a great time with you that night and two, let's never see each other again. Thus begins a 4,000 mile journey well beyond the confines of their carefully structured worlds. Bruce is fueled by an overwhelming but undefined compulsion to join her in Phoenix. Sue is reluctantly charmed by his persistence, but steadfast in her resolve to keep him at bay."

Phoenix is directed by Jennifer DeLia, and features scenic design by Caite Hevner Kemp, costumes by Amit Gajwani, lighting by Rick Carmona, and sound design by Janie Bullard. It is produced by Poverty Row Entertainment, Rian Patrick Durham and Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, by special arrangement with The Cherry Lane Theatre.
