A sourced production detail
It's Only A Play is a smart, witty backstage comedy that captures the chaos and charm of a Broadway opening night.

Since its Off-Off-Broadway debut in 1982, the piece has enjoyed off-Broadway revivals and a high-profile Broadway revival that opened on October 9, 2014, and ran through June 7, 2015.
