| BEFORE THIS NEW YEAR A NEW PLAY BY LIANA SONENCLAR DIRECTED BY KNUD ADAMS PERFORMANCES BEGIN MARCH 19, 2025 OPENING NIGHT SET FOR APRIL 4, 2025 LIMITED RUN THROUGH MAY 11, 2025 AT THE DUKE ON 42nd STREET AT NEW 42 STUDIOS TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW AT BEFORETHISNEWYEAR.COM (February 4, 2025 - New York, NY) – Producer Jonathan Demar is pleased to announce additional casting for the World Premiere of Before This New Year, a new play by rising playwright Liana Sonenclar (To Be Honest) and directed by Obie Award winner Knud Adams (Broadway's English). Before This New Year will begin performances March 19, 2025, at The Duke on 42nd Street at NEW 42 Studios (229 W 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036) with opening night set for April 4, for a limited run through May 11, 2025. Joining the previously announced Emily Carey (House of the Dragon) as "Haley" and Kaci Walfall (Naomi) as "Alison" will be Arjun Biju (An Adaptation of That King of the Hill Episode Where Peggy Falls Out of a Plane) as "Brandon," Obie Award winner Pete Simpson (Gatz) as "Coach," Melanie Nicholls-King (The Wire) as "Mom," and Ella Stiller (Rose of St. Therese) as "Jen." High-school track star Alison Bennett (Kaci Walfall) had met every expectation — until it all fell apart. After her first semester of college, Alison returns home for the holidays and reconnects with her former teammate Haley (Emily Carey). As old feelings resurface, they must confront the choices that ended their running careers and reshaped their lives. Sharp, funny, and poignant, Before This New Year is a powerful exploration of love, loss, identity, and coming-of-age in today's relentlessly high-pressured world.
