Rehearsals have begun for Alan Hruska's new play, Laugh It Up, Stare It Down. Directed by Chris Eigeman, the production has its premiere August 26 at the Cherry Lane Theatre, with opening night set for September 9.

The play is described as "the story of Cleo and Joe, the meeting of their minds, the entwining of their hearts, and their lifelong search for a meaningful point in a universe too random to have one. It's a journey marked by a missing baby, a forged painting, a house invader, a tidal wave, and frozen pistou. Will they rise above their outrageous fortune? Will they find ecstatic love?"

The cast of Laugh It Up, Stare It Down is made up of Maury Ginsberg, Amy Hargreaves, Jayce Bartok, and Katya Campbell. Laugh It Up, Stare It Down features scenic design by Kevin Judge, costume design by Jennifer Caprio, lighting design by Matthew J. Fick, and original music and sound design by Peter Salett.
