New York: The Off-Broadway production of My Name is Rachel Corrie has extended its limited run through December 30th. The engagement was set to end on November 19th.

My Name is Rachel Corrie opened at the Minetta Lane Theatre on October 15th.Megan Dodds reprises the role of Rachel Corrie, a role she created in London's Royal Court Theatre production of the piece. Dodds will play the role six times a week with Bree Elrod performing the Saturday and Sunday matinees. The production is based on the writings of Rachel Corrie, the 23 year old American woman who was killed on March 16, 2003 by an Israeli Army bulldozer while she was protesting the demolition of Palestinian homes. The circumstances surrounding her death have been disputed. The International Solidarity Movement, of which Corrie was apart, claimed that she was run over on purpose, but The Israeli Defence Forces have said it was an accident and that she was killed by falling debris.Corrie left behind a series of diaries and emails that have been edited together by Katherine Viner and Alan Rickman, who also directs the work. The creative team features set design by Hildegard Bechtler, lighting design by Johanna Town, and sound and video design by Emma Laxton.For tickets visit our database here.
