FRANKIE AND JOHNNY AND THE CLARE DE LUNE
JUNE 11 - 27, 2026
by TERRENCE MCNALLY
directed by EMMA BACON
This intimate romantic comedy unfolds in a small New York apartment, where Frankie, a guarded waitress, and Johnny, a “grill master”, share an unexpected end to their first date. What begins as a one night stand slowly deepens. Johnny is convinced he found the one, while Frankie, shrouded by her past of hurt and disappointment, resists. Over the course of one intimate evening, they navigate longing and fear, discovering that the greatest risk is allowing oneself to be truly seen, and ultimately the tenderness that can emerge once you surrender to vulnerability.
