Jerry Seinfeld, who directed the Broadway premiere of Colin Quinn: Long Story Short, will produce the limited engagement, which will star Marder, Beth Kennedy, and Sam Kwasman. Pierre Balloón will direct.

Letters from a Nut will officially open June 28 in the Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater; performances will continue through July 30.

“Ted L. Nancy is a customer in need of service," according to press notes. “He writes to the city of Huntington Beach requesting a permit for operating his Electronic Nose Blowing Machine, invites Czechoslovakian President Václav Havel to become Treasurer of Ted’s Vacuum Club, asks Nordstrom about buying a mannequin that looks like his deceased neighbor to present to the grieving widow, and more. Time after time, well-meaning representatives offer earnest replies to his letters.”

In a statement, Seinfeld said, “What is Ted’s compulsion to disturb innocent hardworking people? People who are clearly doing nothing more than attempting to conduct their business in a dignified manner?”

The first book in the Letters from a Nut series was published in 1997 with an introduction by Seinfeld.

Tickets will go on sale March 27 at GeffenPlayhouse.org.
