Five short works by playwrights Lisa Ebersole, Amy Fox, Anthony Minghella, and Michael Weller will make up Estimated Time of Arrival, which will play January 19-February 10 at Urban Stages (259 West 30th Street). The 90-minute show, presented by Thirteenth Night Theatre, will be directed by Drew DeCorleto.

The cast features Ethan James Duff, Reese Madigan, Jamie Proctor, and Sarah Megan Thomas. The creative team includes David Evans Morris (sets), Juliet Chia (lighting), Jesse-Raye Court (costumes), and Michael L. Cooper (sound). DeCorleto is currently represented Off-Broadway by Dibble Does Christmas in New York!

The five pieces — Ebersole’s Me Thinks, Fox’s Hatshop and Double Click, Minghella’s Hang Up, and Weller’s Split: Part One — all focus the whimsical and difficult nature of relationships of young people in the city. Ebersole’s previous plays include Brother. Fox’s best known work Heights was made into a major motion picture. Minghella is best known as a film director whose works include The English Patient and Cold Opera, as well as the Metropolitan Opera’s recent production of Madama Butterfly. Weller’s many plays include Moonchildren and Loose Ends, and he recently wrote the book for the Broadway-bound musical Zhivago.
