Emmanuelle Mattana's Trophy Boys has extended performances Off-Broadway by two weeks, now playing through July 27 at MCC Theater. The production, directed by Tony winner Danya Taymor, began previews June 5, and is set to officially open June 25.
Mattana stars in her own work as Owen, with Terry Hu (Never Have I Ever) as David, Louisa Jacobson (The Gilded Age) as Jared, and Esco Joul茅y (Wolf Play) as Scott. Casting is by The Telsey Office's Charlie Hano.
The work centers on a debate team at an elite all-boys prep school one hour before their final match. As they prepare to smoke their sister school (on the prompt "feminism has failed women," no less), a rumor emerges that threatens to ruin everything. The upcoming Off-Broadway bow follows earlier stagings in Australia.
The production features scenic design by Matt Saunders, costume design by M谩rion Tal谩n de la Rosa, lighting design by Cha See, sound design by Fan Zhang, and movement by Tilly Evans-Krueger. Gigi Buffington will serve as voice, text, and dialect coach, with Nicole Johnson as DEI consultant and Erin Gioia Albrecht as production stage manager.
Mattana and Taymor will give a talkback following the June 18 performance. Further post-show audience conversations are planned for June 10 and June 26, with cast talkbacks planned after the July 1 and July 6 performances. A Community Forum will be held June 14 between shows.
MCC is producing the run in association with Kevin Connor and Telegraph Productions Collective.
