Playwrights Horizons has announced a second extension for the world premiere production of Adam Bock's A Life. Directed by Anne Kauffman, the play will now run through December 4 at the Peter Jay Sharp Theater. Originally scheduled to play a limited engagement through November 13, the currently running production was extended once before, for two additional weeks through November 27.

Tony and Emmy winner David Hyde Pierce heads the cast as Nate Martin, a man who turns to the stars after his most recent breakup casts him into a funk. Poring over astrological charts, he obsessively questions his past and his place in the cosmos. Joining him in the ensemble are Marinda Anderson, Brad Heberlee, Nedra McClyde, and Lynne McCollough.

The cast also includes Marinda Anderson (Far From Heaven), Brad Heberlee (Small Mouth Sounds), Nedra McClyde (Mr. Burns), and Lynne McCollough (Angels in America).

The production's creative team will feature scenic design by Laura Jellinek, costume design by Jessica Pabst, lighting design by Matt Frey, and sound design by Mikhail Fiksel. The production stage manager will be Erin Gioia Albrecht.
