Based on Delia Ephron’s bestselling memoir, this warm and witty new play is directed by five-time Tony Award® winner Susan Stroman and stars Julianna Margulies (“The Good Wife”), Peter Gallagher (“Grace and Frankie”), Peter Francis James (Funny Girl) and Kate MacCluggage (“Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret”).
When she least expects it, Delia, beloved novelist and screenwriter of “You’ve Got Mail,” reconnects with a man from her past and falls into her own romantic comedy. What starts with an unlikely spark blossoms into a love story that seems to defy all odds in the face of life’s challenges. Left on Tenth tells the messy, beautiful true story of a woman discovering how to embrace the unpredictable and open her heart again.
Running time: 100 minutes with no intermission

Content Advisory: While Left on Tenth is a romantic and uplifting story, it also explores Delia Ephron’s real-life challenge with illness and the strength of human connection through adversity.
