59E59 Theaters has announced that actor and comic Gianmarco Soresi's comedy Less Than 50%, directed by Jen Wineman, will run off-Broadway for the end of the summer. Less Than 50% begins performances on Friday, August 3, for a limited engagement through Sunday, September 1, with the press opening set for Wednesday, August 8.

Less Than 50% is a smart and witty "unromantic" comedy about love and all the insane, irrational, and impromptu ways we try to keep it. Soresi blends theater with stand-up comedy and a shifting fourth wall to build a meta-exploration of contemporary romance in an age of cynicism with an unforgettable twist.

Hannah Hale (<i>As You Like It</i> with Shakespeare's Globe Theatre) will join Soresi.

The design team includes Ashleigh Poteat (set design), Driscoll Otto (lighting design), Samantha Rose Lind (costume design), Emily Auciello (sound design), John Erickson (projection design), and Leila Ben-Abdallah (prop design).
