1 Plus 1, a new play by actor and Pulitzer Prize finalist Eric Bogosian (Talk Radio), will have its off-Broadway premiere at SoHo Playhouse. Performances are set to begin February 23 ahead of a February 27 opening, and will run through March 19.

1 Plus 1 explores how a modern woman can still rise and fall at the whim of the men in her life. In 1 Plus 1, an unsuspecting aspiring actress in Los Angeles makes a seemingly innocent choice that lures her into the lucrative world of internet porn, and her fate seems caught between the two men who couldn't seem more opposite yet might have more in common than first meets the eye.

The play was originally developed at Powerhouse/New York Stage And Film in 2008, and first produced at The Black Box in Englewood, NJ in 2021. It subsequently headlined NYC's Chain Play Festival in July 2022.

Directed by Matt Okin, the cast of 1 Plus 1 features Michael Gardiner, Katie North, and Daniel Yaiullo reprising their roles from the New Jersey production. Danielle MacMath serves as understudy. Ilana Schimmel is the production designer and stage manager, and Ben Shanblatt lends original incidental music.
