Singularity has announced the extension of their acclaimed FringeNYC production of How To Act Around Cops for five additional performances beginning September 5th at The Kraine Theater. The production received two awards for Overall Excellence from the festival, one for director Jon Schumacher and the other for playwright Logan Brown.

When a routine traffic stop goes awry, a police officer makes a split-second decision that puts him on the wrong side of the law. As a gunpowder trail of consequences ignites, will he emerge as a vigilante or a fugitive fleeting from justice?

The production features Matthew Benjamin, Andrew Breving (Or Polaroids), Josh Carpenter, Chris Kipiniak (Broadway’s Metamorphoses, Kit Marlowe), Susan O'Connor (St. Scarlet, Never Swim Alone), Marc Webster and Veronica Welch.

Singularity, winner of last year's Best Overall Production for the David Greenspan - Christopher Shinn double bill Five Frozen Embryos + The Sleepers, was called "one of the city’s fastest-rising and most promising collectives" by Time Out New York.
