About The Disappear
Get The Disappear tickets on TodayTix to see this new play written and directed by BAFTA nominee Erica Schmidt about a power couple that is about to lose it all. The Disappear plays for a limited run this winter at Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre in downtown Manhattan. Tracing a power couple's sudden demise, and how it impacts the lives of their friends and peers, The Disappear off Broadway promises many twists, sharp performances, and taut, thrilling drama.
Dylan Baker, Madeline Brewer, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Hamish Linklater, Anna Mirodin, and Miriam Silverman star in this new play about Benjamin Braxton and Mira Blair, who see their ideal life go spectacularly off script. In this smoldering and modern comedy, peel back the curtain on fame, ambition, and marriage to see how keeping it together means letting go, even if it means bringing others down with you for one wild ride. What could go wrong?
