Stagedoor opens their 52nd season with a riotous romp running October 4th-19th

Dunwoody – Stage Door Theatre is pleased to welcome you to Sandy Rustin’s THE COTTAGE. The show is directed by Damian Lockhart and runs October 4th -October 19th at Stage Door Theatre in Dunwoody. This effervescent comedy will openStagedoor’s 52nd season.

In this regional premiere comedy (Fresh off a Broadway run directed by Jason Alexander), Sylvia and Beau retreat to the titular Cottage for their yearly tryst. This side-splitting show is about one woman’s decision to come clean about an affair to her husband..and her lover’s wife.

With effervescent wit reminiscent of Nöel Coward and wild, farcical physical gags, this is a show sure to leave audiences laughing. When asked why someone should see THE COTTAGE, director Damian Lockhart shared “In a moment when society often feels divided, Sandy Rustin’s The Cottage invites us to laugh together. With its mix of sex, betrayal, and desire, served with classic British wit and charm, the play offers a joyful chance for community connection. My hope is that audiences leave with sore cheeks from laughter and full hearts from the experience.” Artistic director Justin Ball adds “We are thrilled to welcome back Damian Lockhart and to be bringing another regional premiere to Dunwoody. This script keeps the lithe spirit of Nöel Coward’s brand of humor but has all the energy and vivacity of a new comedy.”
