Significant Other, a new play by Bad Jews scribe Joshua Harmon, will have its world premiere at Roundabout Theatre Company's Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre beginning in May 2015. The production will be directed by Trip Cullman (I'm Gonna Pray for You So Hard).

A quarter-life coming-of-age story, Significant Other explores single life in the city. Jordan Berman would love to be in love, but until he finds Mr. Right, he spends his nights with his trio of close girlfriends. As their evenings turn into bachelorette parties, Jordan finds that supporting the ones you love can be just as impossible as finding love itself.

Harmon's play Bad Jews premiered at Roundabout Underground's Black Box Theater in fall 2012 before moving to the Laura Pels in the fall of 2013. In addition to Significant Other, a third Harmon play is in development, commissioned by Roundabout, with workshops set to begin in 2015.

Dates, casting, and ticketing information will be announced in the coming months.
