The Tank (Meghan Finn, Artistic Director; Johnny G. Lloyd, Director of Artistic Development; Molly FitzMaurice, Managing Producer) presents Touch, a sunny new comedy by Lori Goodman (Reservations for Two) and directed by Janice L. Goldberg (Liberty Talks!) as one of their Spring 2025 Core Productions. Touch will begin performances on February 20 for a limited run through March 16, 2025 at The Tank’s 56 Seat Theater (312 West 36th Street).
Betty, a retired widow from New York, is having a difficult time adjusting to life without her husband. She's driving her son crazy as she nervously dips her toe into online dating. Bob, a widower, also a Florida transplant, gets an unexpected call from his divorced daughter: she's coming to visit. They’re both hurting but are too much alike to admit they need each other. Meanwhile, a wife and her curmudgeonly husband navigate living on a fixed income. Touch is a story about the enduring desire for love and companionship at any age.
The cast of Touch will include June Ballinger (Telling Tales Out of School), Alex Brightwell (The Tempest), Willie C Carpenter (Since Africa), Allyson Kaye Daniel (The Wiz, Broadway Revival), Carole Forman (Bring Them Back), Joe Gately (Life Boat), and Stacey Scotte (Strictly Personal).
The creative team will feature Set Design by Jonas Harrison (Tova), Lighting Design by Michael Abrams (I of the Storm), and Sound Design by Iman Rose Louis-Jeune (ZCO/Dance Project). Noelle S. LeBlanc (Seven Keys to Baldpate) is the Production Stage Manager, William English (Midlife) is the Stage Manager, and casting is by Jen Rudin, CSA.
The performance schedule is as follows: Thursdays through Saturdays at 7pm; and Sundays at 3pm. Exception: There will be no performance on Sunday February 23.
