The first production in Manhattan Theatre Club (MTC)’s virtual Curtain Call series will be The Past Is The Past, streaming from 18-28 February, it has been announced today.

The play, written by Drama Desk Award winner Richard Wesley, was originally produced in MTC’s 1974-75 season. Directed by Oz Scott, the reading will star Emmy Award nominee Jovan Adepo (Watchmen, Fences) and two-time Emmy Award winner Ron Cephas Jones (This Is Us).

The scene is a pool hall, where a man in his mid-40s shoots a solitary game until a college student he has never met challenges him to play. As their game goes on, it becomes clear that the men recognize each other and have a deep connection. While the truth emerges, so does the fact that the past must remain just that.

Tickets to the reading are free and can be reserved here.
