It has been said that there is approximately only a 1 in 100th of a chance that a person will land a job working in theater in New York. The chances of working successfully in the industry are smaller than that. Sometimes, though, you meet people like EXTINCTION’s James Roday (of the hit television series “Psych”) and Michael Weston (“House”) who make you forget that the odds of doing so are not stacked so high – who make you truly believe that if one can simply “find good material, do what you know and grow it into something bigger” (to quote Roday) that enriched careers in entertainment are truly achievable.
In their latest collaboration, Roday and Weston play two friends on a reckless weekend in Gabe McKinley’s new play EXTINCTION, now running at the Cherry Lane Theatre. Wayne Kasserman directs. Roday and Weston are reprising their roles Off-Broadway in EXTINCTION following its acclaimed, sold-out run this past fall in Los Angeles at the Elephant Space theatre in Hollywood.
With a cast also featuring Amanda Detmer and Stefanie E. Frame, EXTINCTION tells a story about what transpires between two college buddies whose annual outing of male-bonding and debauchery veers precipitously off course.
