Playwright and "Narrator" - Stan Zimmerman
Director - Meghan Finn

The Tank presents a limited run of Stan Zimmerman’s suicide awareness play, Right before I Go. Joining Zimmerman (Golden Girls, Gilmore Girls), who will be playing the “Narrator” for Week 1, Wendie Malick (Shrinking, Hot in Cleveland), Patrick Page (Hadestown, The Gilded Age), Maulik Pancholy (30 Rock), and Peppermint (RuPaul’s Drag Race). Week 2 cast, again with Zimmerman, includes Hill Harper (The Good Doctor), Emily Kuroda (Gilmore Girls), Pooya Mohseni (English), and Danny Pintauro (Who’s the Boss?). Our Week 3 Cast includes Wilson Cruz (Star Trek: Discovery), Will Horton (The Gilded Age), Juliana Joel (Raven’s Home), Christine Taylor (The Brady Bunch Movie) and Seth Rudetsky (Disaster) as the Narrator*.  The show incorporates real suicide notes from well-known people to war veterans, LGBTQ+ members and kids that were bullied, but ultimately ending on a message of hope. It will be directed by The Tank’s Artistic Director Meghan Finn and performed Sunday and Monday nights @7pm during September (Suicide Prevention Month) at NYC’s The Tank theatre.

* LAST MINUTE CAST CHANGES MAY OCCUR DUE TO AVAILABILITY

Following the one-hour performance will be a Talk Back moderated Week 1 by NYC Councilman Erik Bottcher, Week 2 by writer Keli Goff (The Daily Beast), and Week 3 by actor/host Paige Davis (Trading Spaces, Chicago). Local mental health professionals, Olivia Verhulst, (Week 1 & 3) and Dr. Nathilee Caldeira (Week 2) will also participate in each Talk Back/Q&A. The play is a benefit for SL24 Unlocke the Light, a foundation dedicated to empowering young people by providing them with tools, education, and resources needed to understand mental health.
