New Village Arts Theatre concludes its 11th season, an “Ensemble Project” year, with the world premiere of Suzanne Bachner’s “Brilliant Mistake,” written specifically for this group of actors.

Bachner also directs this sprawling comedy, which plays through June 24 and gives 15 ensemble members (some not usually onstage) a chance to shine.

As playwright, Bachner’s approach was to interview each actor to learn a little personal and performance history; then to fashion character for each, and finally to concoct a story to connect them all.
