Produced by the theater company Second Stage, “Between Riverside and Crazy” will begin previews on Wednesday, November 30 and will officially open on Monday, December 19 at Hayes’ Theater. Second Stage originally presented the play in February in at the Tony Kiser Theater.
The play follows ex-cop and recent widower Walter “Pops” Washington (Henderson) and his recently paroled son Junior (Common) as the two try to hold on to one of the last rent stabilized apartments in Manhattan’s Riverside Drive.
Common, whose acting body includes roles in submarine thriller “Hunter Killer,” David Ayer’s “Suicide Squad,” and historical drama “Selma,” most recently appeared opposite Keke Palmer in the film “Alice,” which premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival. He also serves as an executive producer of Showtime TV series “The Chi” and Netflix drama “Burning Sands.”
Subscriptions and singular tickets for “Between Riverside and Crazy” can be found on the Second Stage website, and the Hayes Theater box office opens November 14.
