Playwrights Horizons' Spectacular New Season

I was just browsing one of my favorite theater news-related sites Theatermania.com and saw that the upcoming season of Playwrights Horizons sounds fabulous! Not to say that most of their seasons don't -- they really know what's up when it comes to quality stage productions such as Grey Gardens which was transferred to Broadway after opening at Horizons two years ago. Opening in November the legendary Victoria Clark (Light in the Piazza, Encores! production of Follies), Jonathan Groff and Skip Sudduth will star in Craig Lucas's new play Prayer for My Enemy which will be directed by the recent Tony-winner for the direction of South Pacific Bartlett Sher. Will be interesting to see these musical theater pros speaking instead of singing.

The season opens on Aug. 22nd with a play called Three Changes starring small screen stars Dylan McDermott and Maura Tierney. On Sept. 25th Adam Rapp will be directing his new play Kindness starring Sam Waterston's daughter Katherine Waterston. In February stage and film character actress extraordinaire Dana Ivey will star in The Savannah Disputation directed by Tony winner (for his direction of the revival of Chicago) and all-around Broadway success story Walter Bobbie.
