Broadway's Second Stage Theater has announced that Tony winner Celia Keenan-Bolger, Emmy winner Jim Parsons, and Oscar, Emmy, and Tony winner Jessica Lange will return to Broadway in the world premiere of Mother Play, the formerly untitled Paula Vogel work the company is bringing to the Main Stem.
The limited engagement will begin previews April 2 prior to an April 25 opening night. The production will play Second Stage's Helen Hayes Theater, and will be directed by Tina Landau (SpongeBob SquarePants).
Set in 1962 on the outskirts of Washington D.C., Mother Play explores the power family holds over us through matriarch Phyllis and her children, Carl and Martha, as they reckon with unpacking the past.
Mother Play will feature scenic design by David Zinn, costume design by Toni-Leslie James, lighting design by Jen Schriever, and sound design by Jill BC Du Boff. Casting is by The Telsey Office.
