Previews began Oct. 7. 

Here's how it's billed: "It's the 4th of July on Fire Island where a brother and sister and their spouses are spending the quintessential American summer weekend in an unfamiliar setting. As their season in the sun unfolds, the two couples do their best to enjoy themselves despite their prejudices and insecurities. The grill is fired up, the drinks are cold and the pool is open but no one is going in. Terrence McNally's trenchant comedy receives its first New York revival in 23 years under the direction of Peter DuBois."

The production features set design by Alexander Dodge, costumes by Emilio Sosa, lighting design by Justin Townsend and sound design by Fitz Patton. The production stage manager is Lori Ann Zepp.
