*By Daily Press staff*

The Ruskin Group Theatre has announced that its critically acclaimed production of “That May Well Be True” has been extended to April 30, the show was originally slated to close April 1.

“That May Well Be True,” which is recommended by both the Los Angeles Times and Los Angeles Weekly, is a comedy by Jay Reiss about two friends who reunite after 15 years over a dispute about which of the men really came up with the story for a critically acclaimed novel.

Performances are at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 5 p.m. Sundays. Sunday shows are at 2 p.m. until April 1, but will be moved to 5 p.m. in subsequent weeks. There will be no Sunday performances on April 16 or April 23.

Ruskin Group Theatre is located at 3000 Airport Dr. at Santa Monica Airport.

The L.A. Weekly said the “intense comedy drama crackles with snappy dialogue, rich emotional undercurrents and vivid characters.”

In its review, the Los Angeles Times said, “Beneath the surface of Reiss’ free-and-easy dialogue runs a deeper current of emotion, so subtly and realistically conveyed that we theatergoers feel like voyeurs stashed among the shelves of books and recordings.”

“That May Well Be True” was commissioned by the Manhattan Theatre Club. Reiss, who graduated from the Juilliard School’s playwriting program, has authored several plays but is best known for being one of the creators of the Tony Award-winning “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.” Reiss also acted in the Broadway hit, despite having had no acting background.

“That May Well Be True” is directed by Paul Linke. Tickets are $20 general and $15 for students and senior citizens. Call (310) 397-3244 or go to http://www.ruskingrouptheatre.com.
