The Last Seder is the bittersweet story of the Price family as four grown daughters return to their childhood home for a final holiday before the house is sold and dementia forces their father into a nursing home. It is a big, sprawling family play: 11 actors, locales ranging from Penn Station to a Long Island beach to multiple rooms in the family house with many simultaneous, intercut scenes.
Cast: Ryan Barry, Melisa Breiner-Sanders, Gaby Hoffmann, Kathryn Kates, Natalie Kuhn, Andy Lucien, John Michalski, Eric Miller, Greg Mulavey, Abigail Rose Solomon and Sarah Winkler.
Designers: Gabriel Hainer Evansohn, Sydney Gallas, Graham Kindred, Sam Kusnetz.
"This gentle, comic drama by Jennifer Maisel about a family coming together during a difficult time features simmering tensions that can occur at any time of year… much to the credit of the director, Jessica Bauman, The Last Seder runs smoothly."
