(New York) – Billy Van Zandt & Jane Milmore (Silent Laughter, Love, Sex, and the I.R.S., A Night at the Nutcracker) bring their e-mail comedy of errors, Billy Van Zandt & Jane Milmore’s You’ve Got Hate Mail, returns to the Triad after a three week hiatus. Performances begin October 7 for an open-ended run at the theater located at 158 West 72 St, NYC.

Love “bytes” all when an extra-marital affair goes horribly wrong, thanks to a juicy e-mail left sitting on a desktop. The story is told entirely in e-mails from laptop computers, although the play does manage to have an unforgettable chase scene – thanks to Blackberries and iPhones.

In addition to the playwrights, the cast includes Glenn Jones, Barbara Bonilla and Fran Solgan. Gary Shaffer (High School Reunion: The Musical) directs. However, the opportunity exists for terrific guest artists to step in from time-to-time. Upcoming guest stars include Cerina Vincent (Not Another Teen Movie) on Oct. 14 & 21. Jeff Keller (Phantom of the Opera) and Meg Bennett (“Young & Restless,” Grease) on Oct. 21 and 28. And, also upcoming, “Newhart’s” Julia Duffy and Peter Scolari will be reuniting. Date TBA
