The world premiere of Lucy Thurber’s new play Transfers has been extended a week due to popular demand and will now continue through May 20 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. The production, directed by Jackson Gay, officially opened Off-Broadway April 23 in a production from MCC.

The cast is completed by The Knick's Leon Addison Brown, Steppenwolf ensemble member Glenn Davis (You Got Older), and Godless star Samantha Soule.

Transfers began performances April 5.

Champa, sound design by Broken Chord, and casting by Telsey + Company/Adam Caldwell, CSA, William Cantler, CSA, Karyn Casl, CSA.
