About the production

A struggling New York actor’s marriage and closest friendship are upended when he falls for a young woman on the make in the city’s party scene.

“the smooth direction by Kimberly Senior, keeps the action and the story moving with no dead spots.”
— Around the Town, Al Bresloff
“Director Kimberly Senior puts an intriguing spin on it by assembling a diverse cast dominated by actors of color. As a result, Writers' revival unfolds as something more than the typical midlife crisis drama. Instead, in the hands of the ever-astute Senior, 'The Scene' becomes an arresting meditation on the end of white, male hegemony.”
— Daily Herald, Barbara Vitello
“The talented quartet, under the expert guidance of noted Chicago director, Kimberly Senior, is impeccable.”
— Chicago Theatre Review, Colin Douglas
“Directed by Kimberly Senior, Writers Theatre’s production is as seamless as it is chic.”
