Steve Baruch Richard Frankel Thomas Viertel The Shubert Organization Capital Cities/ABC, INC. presented LATER LIFE Off-Broadway in September 1993 Later Life from the director: This is the fifth play by A. R. Gurney that I have been involved with. Gurney is a prolific writer who has spent a lifetime exploring the comic potential of that endangered species, the American WASP and what I enjoy about his work is that it can be so touching and yet damned funny. I m lucky to have been able to share this fun with such a fine cast and crew. Steve Forrester To all our wonderful guests: Welcome to the Pinnacle Playhouse. We strive to make your experience a memorable one. Accessible seating is available for those in wheel chairs, walkers, etc., or for the hearing impaired.
