The Cherry Lane Theatre has announced an extension for the world premiere of Actually We're F**ked, a new comedy by Home Improvement and Roseanne creator Matt Williams, and directed by John Pasquin. Originally scheduled to run through April 7, performances will now run through April 21. The production opened on March 7.

In Actually We're F**ked, four millennials order take-out every Thursday, drink too much wine, and argue over how to rescue the planet. They know the world is a dumpster fire, and they're the generation to fix it. That is, until someone makes a life-changing announcement that challenges their beliefs, their relationships, and whether babies should have their own Instagram accounts.

The cast features Mairin Lee (The Heiress), Keren Lugo (Water by the Spoonful), Ben Rappaport (Fiddler on the Roof), and Gabriel Sloyer (The Assembled Parties).

The creative team includes set design by Robin Vest, lighting design by Paul Miller, costume design by Theresa Squire, sound design by M.L. Dogg, and projection design by Brad Peterson.

Actually We're F**ked is presented as part of CLT's Founder's Project, whose productions have included Out of the Mouths of Babes, starring Estelle Parsons and Judith Ivey, The Traveling Lady, starring Karen Ziemba and Lynn Cohen, and Charles Mee's First Love, with Michael O'Keefe.
