The Manhattan Theatre Club (MTC) production of Amy Herzog’s “Mary Jane” has announced a series of special events. The “Beyond the Stage” programs will be offered at select performances in April, May and June. Directed by Anne Kauffman, the [previously announced](https://www.broadwaynews.com/rachel-mcadams-led-mary-jane-confirms-opening-night-date/) play will begin previews on April 2 and will open on April 23 at MTC’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. The [Rachel McAdams](https://www.broadwaynews.com/rachel-mcadams-to-make-broadway-debut-in-amy-herzogs-mary-jane/)\-starrer is slated for a limited engagement through June 2.

Ticket holders for the April 11 preview performance of “Mary Jane” are invited to stay for a post-show discussion about the role that faith leaders play in navigating and supporting patients and families while grappling with chronic illness.

A talkback scheduled for after the April 28 performance will feature a music therapy discussion with members from the Louis Armstrong Department of Music Therapy at Mount Sinai.

The May 1 performance, which coincides with International Labor Day, will honor caregivers.

Through a partnership with Parent Artist Advocacy League for Arts + Media and Broadway Babysitters, “Mary Jane” will offer complimentary childcare to ticket holders for the May 12 and June 2 matinée performances. Additional information, including how to register, can be found [here](https://www.broadwaybabysitters.com/mtc-mary-jane-free-childcare-matinee/?ref=broadwaynews.com).

In “Mary Jane,” the titular character (McAdams) takes on the responsibilities of being a single mother and caregiver for her chronically ill child. 

“Mary Jane” is being produced by MTC, under the leadership of artistic director Lynne Meadow and executive director Chris Jennings.
