Signature Theatre has announced a second 1-week extension for its current world premiere of Wakey, Wakey, written and directed by Will Eno, which began previews at The Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre at off-Broadway's Pershing Square Signature Center on February 7, 2017, and officially opened on February 27. The limited engagement was originally scheduled to play through to March 19, and was initially extended to March 26. The final performance will now take place on April 2, 2017.
