Commercial Off Broadway sees 'Future'
New play to open at the Cherry Lane
By Gordon Cox

Wilson Milam ("The Lieutenant of Inishmore") will helm a commercial Off Broadway production of "A Perfect Future," a new play by David Hay.

Michael T. Weiss ("The Pretender"), Daniel Oreskes, Donna Bullock and Scott Drummond star in the show, about a Gotham dinner party that raises the question of whether a couple can stay married despite opposing political viewpoints.

Commercial Off Broadway productions are rare these days, largely due to what producers see as the inhospitable economics of the Off Broadway scene.

Andy Sandberg, one of the producers of the recent revival of "Hair," produces "Future," set to begin previews Feb. 4 ahead of a Feb. 17 opening.
