Steppenwolf Theatre Company has extended its world-premiere production of Lisa D'Amour's Airline Highway through February 14. The drama, directed by Joe Mantello, opened on December 4, and was originally scheduled to run through February 8.
Airline Highway follows a ragtag group of strippers, hustlers, and philosophers who have gathered at a once-glamorous New Orleans motel to celebrate the life of Miss Ruby, an iconic burlesque performer who has requested a living funeral. The show is described as an "ode to the outcasts that make life a little more interesting."
The company comprises Robert Breuler, Kate Buddeke, K. Todd Freeman, Carolyn Braver, Chris Daley, Stephen Louis Grush, Terry Hamilton, Scott Jaeck, Toni Martin, Caroline Neff, Tim Edward Rhoze, Judith Roberts, Brenann Stacker, Gordon Joseph Weiss, and Jacqueline Williams.
Following its run at Steppenwolf's Downstairs Theatre in Chicago, Airline Highway will open on Broadway at Manhattan Theatre Club's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre on April 23 after beginning previews April 1.
