MCC Theater celebrated the official opening of JC Lee’s new play Relevance February 25. The world-premiere production is directed by Tony nominee Liesl Tommy and features a cast led by Tony winner Jayne Houdyshell and Tony nominee Pascale Armand.

Relevance sees two generations of feminists go head to head in a battle of wills, theory, and survival. The new drama is currently making its world premiere at the Lucille Lortel Theatre, where it is scheduled to play through March 11.

Completing the cast are Molly Camp (The Heiress) and Emmy Award nominee Richard Masur (Transparent, Orange Is the New Black).

Playbill will continue to update with reviews as they are published.

Relevance began previews February 2. The play follows the unraveling conflict between an older feminist author (Houdyshell) and a promising young writer (Tony nominee Armand), who is quickly becoming the leading cultural critic on race, class, and gender for a new generation. When a heated exchange between the two women goes viral, one of the women finds herself ill-equipped to manage her message in the social media era.
