Theater Breaking Through Barriers (TBTB), the only professional Off-Broadway theater company dedicated to advancing artists and developing audiences of people with disabilities, is proud to present the Off-Broadway debut of Neil Simon's brilliant 1980 Tony Award-winning play, I Ought To Be In Pictures, directed by Nicholas Viselli. It will begin performances on April 20, celebrate its opening night on May 2, and run through May 25 at Theatre Row (410 W 42nd Street). Tickets are $75 (plus fees) and can be purchased by visiting tbtb.org.

The incredible ensemble cast will star Makenzie Morgan Gomez (National Tour: SkippyJon Jones; Snow What?. Regional: Rock of Ages) as Libby, Pamela Sabaugh (TBTB’s Brecht on Brecht) as Steffy and Chris Thorn (Broadway: Death of a Salesman) as Herb.

Herb Tucker, a struggling, middle-aged screenwriter with writer's block, receives an unexpected surprise when his daughter, Libby, whom he abandoned along with the rest of his Brooklyn family 16 years earlier, arrives at his West Hollywood home with aspirations of breaking into the movie business. Libby, who barely remembers her father, not only forces Herb to reexamine the responsibilities of parenthood but also makes him come to terms with his on-again/off-again relationship with his current girlfriend, Steffy.

Makenzie is here to tell us her journey to the show and why the work at TBTB matters to her personally and why it should matter to us all!
