Writer and comedian Bill Posley, an executive producer and writer on Apple鈥檚 hit comedy Shrinking, will bring his solo show The Day I Accidentally Went to War back to NYC this summer.
Produced by Kristen Boul茅 and directed by four-time Emmy winner Bente Engelstoft, previews will begin August 6 prior to an official opening August 9. The limited engagement will continue at the SoHo Playhouse (where the production played in January) through August 31.
Engelstoft is reuniting with Posley after directing his first solo show, The Day I Became Black, which won the 2020 Off Broadway Alliance Award for Best Solo Performance.
The Day I Accidentally Went to War is billed as the "powerful true story about the American Veteran experience." In the solo show, Posley takes audiences on a roller coaster journey through childhood traumas to basic training and deployment, to coming home.
鈥淐oming back to do this show in New York means everything to me,鈥� Posley says in a statement. 鈥淣YC is the Mount Rushmore of theatre, there is so much talent in that city that even subway performers are so good that they make you feel like you're not worthy of being there. When I first started writing this show, I wasn鈥檛 sure if it would resonate with audiences or find its place in the world. I鈥檓 so thankful it has, and I鈥檓 eternally grateful to the Soho Playhouse for bringing it back to NYC.鈥�
Posley's additional writing credits include Cobra Kai, Kenan, and The Neighborhood, as well as the spinoff of Ferris Bueller鈥檚 Day Off for Paramount. His directorial debut, the horror film Bitch Ass, which he also co-wrote, won an Audience Award at SXSW.
