ROUNDABOUT THEATRE COMPANY Presents New York Premiere of THE LAST MATCH By ANNA ZIEGLER Directed by GAYE TAYLOR UPCHURCH WITH WILSON BETHEL, ALEX MICKIEWICZ, NATALIA PAYNE, ZOË WINTERS The strict limited engagement will conclude on Saturday, December 23 at 7:30PM “Ms. Ziegler is also fast becoming a MASTER OF SWELLING CHORAL DIALOGUE, in which urgent but lyrical phrases are intoned in a counterpoint that seems to echo down the halls of history.” – Ben Brantley, The New York Times “Invisible balls are served, chased, returned and missed WITH GRACE AND POWER by two toned athletes wielding invisible rackets. The CHOREOGRAPHY IS SO PRECISE – and Bray Poor’s SOUND DESIGN IS SO SPECIFIC – we can almost see those balls coming at us.” – Marilyn Stasio, Variety Off-Broadway at the Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre Roundabout Theatre Company (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director/CEO) will conclude its New York premiere of The Last Match by Anna Ziegler’s, directed by Gaye Taylor Upchurch on Saturday, December 23. The cast includes Wilson Bethel as “Tim,” Alex Mickiewicz as “Sergei,” Natalia Payne as “Galina” and Zoë Winters as “Mallory.” At the time of closing, The Last Match will have played 29 preview performances and 68 regular performances. Previews began on September 28, 2017 and opened officially on October 24, 2017 at the Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre (111 W 46th Street). It’s the semifinals of the U.S. Open, and two tennis greats are facing off in the match of their lives. Tim Porter, the aging all-American favorite, wants to prove to the world, his wife and himself that he’s still a champion. Hot-headed rising star Sergei Sergeyev struggles to believe he truly deserves to beat his lifelong hero. Set against the high-stakes backdrop of professional sports, this New York premiere, directed by Gaye Taylor Upchurch, serves up a richly theatrical look at what keeps us striving and why. The creative team includes Tim Mackabee (Scenic Design), Montana Blanco (Costume Design), Bradley King (Lighting Design) and Bray Poor (Sound Design).

The Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre opened in March 2004 with an acclaimed premiere of Lynn Nottage’s Intimate Apparel starring Viola Davis, directed by Dan Sullivan. In the ten years since that landmark production, the center has expanded beyond the Laura Pels Theatre to include the Black Box Theatre and now a new education center. The Steinberg Center continues to reflect Roundabout’s commitment to produce new works by established and emerging writers as well as revivals of classic plays. This state-of-the-art off-Broadway theatre and education complex is made possible by a major gift from The Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust. The Trust was created in 1986 by Harold Steinberg to promote and advance American Theatre as a vital part of our culture by supporting playwrights, encouraging the development and production of new work, and providing financial assistance to not-for-profit theatre companies across the country. Since its inception, the Trust has awarded over $70 million to more than 125 theatre organizations. Roundabout Theatre Company is committed to producing the highest quality theatre with the finest artists, sharing stories that endure, and providing accessibility to all audiences. A not-for-profit company, Roundabout fulfills its mission each season through the production of classic plays and musicals; development and production of new works by established and emerging writers; educational initiatives that enrich the lives of children and adults; and a subscription model and audience outreach programs that cultivate and engage all audiences. Roundabout Theatre Company presents a variety of plays, musicals, and new works on its five stages, each of which is specifically designed to enhance the needs of Roundabout’s mission. Off-Broadway, the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre, which houses the Laura Pels Theatre and Black Box Theatre, with its simple sophisticated design, is perfectly suited to showcasing new plays. The grandeur of its Broadway home on 42nd Street, American Airlines Theatre, sets the ideal stage for the classics. Roundabout’s Studio 54 provides an exciting and intimate Broadway venue for its musical and special event productions. The Stephen Sondheim Theatre offers a state of the art LEED certified Broadway theatre in which to stage major large-scale musical revivals. Together these distinctive homes serve to enhance Roundabout’s work on each of its stages. American Airlines is the official airline of Roundabout Theatre Company. Roundabout productions are supported, in part, with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
