SoHo Playhouse has announced that it will present a one-night-only first-look workshop of Bright Colors and Bold Patterns playwright Drew Droege's new solo play Happy Birthday Doug Saturday, June 29, at 9pm.

The play is described as follows: "Doug is turning 41 today. He's visited by friends, nightmares, a few exes, and even a ghost. Imagine a gay Christmas Carol/modern-day exorcism set in a wine bar in Silverlake. Welcome to the party!"

Happy Birthday Doug is performed by Droege and directed by Tom DeTrinis. The workshop arrives in New York following a two-night engagement at Los Angeles's Dynasty Typewriter.
