MCC Theater has announced its 2009-2010 season at the Lucille Lortel Theatre.

The season will feature Still Life, a new play by Alexander Dinelaris, directed by Will Frears (September 16-November 1), about a whirlwind romance between a photographer and a trend analyst; the American premiere of Alexi Kaye Campbell’s The Pride, about a love triangle caught “in a kind of erotic time warp” to be directed by Tony Award winner Joe Mantello (January 27-March 14); and Oscar winner Jonathan Demme’s production of Pulitzer Prize winner Beth Henley’s Family Week (April 7-May 23), set in a recovery center in the desert in which three generations of women confront each other and their shared history.
