Two-time Oscar nominee Mary McDonnell (Dances With Wolves, Passion Fish) will star as Gloria Steinem in the McCarter Theatre Center production of Gloria: A Life, which will begin previews September 6 in Princeton, New Jersey.

Playwright Emily Mann, who is also the McCarter’s artistic director, will direct the production based on the recent Off-Broadway production that was helmed by Tony winner Diane Paulus. Performances will continue through October 6. An official opening night has been set for September 14.

Gloria: A Life premiered Off-Broadway last fall with Christine Lahti portraying Steinem. The work played an extended run through March at the Daryl Roth Theatre.
