Not Even the Good Things, a new play by Joseph Scott Ford, will be presented at Theatre Row July 10-27, with opening night set for Tuesday, July 16.

According to a press release, "The play deals with a group of six 20-something-year-old friends who gather in a mountain cabin to enjoy a well-deserved vacation. It's just they can't seem to enjoy anything, really. What is supposed to be a fun and carefree evening evolves into a drunken circus of attempted infidelity, nonsense, and weird religion. This all takes place under the watchful gaze of a young girl who only shows herself to one person, while he steadily and hilariously loses his grip on reality in the company of his oblivious friends. The nature of shame, sexuality, loyalty, intoxication, privilege and faith are all explored in this achingly funny new play."

Collette Astle (Hysterical Women), Victoria Janicki (Fun Home), Sea McHale (Marvin's Room), Serena Parrish (Fun Home), Stephon Pettway (Ollie and Molly Can't Get Arrested), Mickey Roberts, and Allie Trimm (30 Rock) will star.

Kelsey Claire will direct. The creative team will include Oscar Noel Fitzpatrick (costume design) and Alexander Le Vaillant Freer (lighting design).
