Description:

Jordan Harrison’s “MARJORIE PRIME” opens at Theatre 29 on January 16 for a 3-week run.

The Broadway premiere production of the groundbreaking play just opened on December 8. The work, about a woman who uses a computer holographic system to bring back AI versions of her dearly departed spouse, Wendy Cohen plays Marjorie, an elderly widow. Kevin Hayles is her AI husband as he was when he was a handsome 40-year-old. Kurt Schauppner is Marjorie’s compassionate son-in-law and Sharianne Greer holds forth in the extraordinarily powerful role as Marjorie’s daughter.

In the Theatre 29 production of MARJORIE PRIME, opening January 16, AI creation “Jon” (Kevin Hayles) listens to his “widow” Marjorie (Wendy Cohen).
