The American premiere of Anna Jordan's Yen has extended its run at the Lucille Lortel Theatre through March 4. Directed by Trip Cullman, the MCC Theater production was originally scheduled to run through February 19.

The company includes Oscar nominee Lucas Hedges (Manchester by the Sea), Ari Graynor (The Performers), Stefania LaVie Owen (CW's The Carrie Diaries), and Justice Smith (Netflix's The Get Down). Jack DiFalco serves as understudy.

Yen is described as follows: "Bobbie (Smith) and Hench (Hedges) are home alone. Days are filled by streaming porn, playing video games, watching the world go by. Their mom (Graynor) rarely visits these days, and it's chaos when she does. But when animal-loving neighbor Jenny (Owen) takes an interest in their dog Taliban, the boys discover a world far beyond what they know."
