Second Stage's production of Amy Berryman’s Walden officially opens November 7 following previews that began October 16 at Off-Broadway's Tony Kiser Theater.

The Whitney White-directed production features Emmy Rossum (Shameless, The Phantom of the Opera) and Zoë Winters (Success, Heroes of the Fourth Turning), who play two estranged sisters struggling to align, joined by Motell Foster (La Cocina, Clickbait, Othello).

Set in the near future, Walden follows Stella (Rossum) and her fiancé Bryan (Foster), who are waiting at their cabin for Stella’s estranged twin sister, Cassie (Winters). Raised by their astronaut father to be NASA scientists, the twins have taken different paths: Cassie has just returned from a successful moon mission, while Stella has left NASA behind. When they reunite, old conflicts reignite, forcing the sisters to choose between staying on Earth or pursuing a future in space.

Walden received its world premiere, presented by Sonia Friedman Productions, in May 2021 at London's Harold Pinter Theatre, followed by its American premiere at TheatreWorks in Hartford, Connecticut, in August 2021.

The Off-Broadway production features scenic design by Matt Saunders, costume design by Qween Jean, lighting design by Adam Honoré, and sound design by Lee Kinney. Casting is by Taylor Williams.
