Artistic Director Oskar Eustis has added a dash of star power to his 10th anniversary season at The Public Theater.

The Public announced this afternoon that HOMELAND's Claire Danes, Hank Azaria, and Sanjit De Silva will join previously announced John Krasinksi in the world premiere of Sarah Burgess' DRY POWDER, a "new drama about the people shaping, and skewing, the American economy."

HAMILTON's Thomas Kail helms the production, which will begin previews on Tuesday, March 1, ahead of an official opening on Tuesday, March 22. The production will play an extended engagement through Sunday, April 24.

Per press notes, "The same week his private equity firm forced massive layoffs at a national grocery chain, Rick threw himself an extravagant engagement party, setting off a publicity nightmare. Fortunately, Seth (John Krasinski), one of Rick's partners, has a win-win deal to invest in an American-made luggage company for a song and rescue his boss from a PR disaster. But Jenny (Claire Danes), Seth's counterpart, has an entirely different plan: to squeeze every last penny out of the company, no matter the consequences. The game is on in Sarah Burgess' gripping, razor-sharp new play about the price of success and the real cost of getting the deal done."

DRY POWDER will feature scenic design by Rachel Hauck; costume design by Clint Ramos; lighting design by Jason Lyons; and sound design by Lindsay Jones.
