Photo Coverage: THE PHILANTHROPIST Curtain Call

Roundabout Theatre Company (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director) presents a new Broadway production of The Philanthropist starring Matthew BroderickJonathan Cake, Anna Madeley and Steven WeberThe Philanthropist, by Christopher Hampton, is directed by David Grindley at the American Airlines Theatre (227 West 42nd Street). The cast also includes Tate Ellington, Jennifer Mudge andSamantha Soule.

The Philanthropist officially opened on Sunday, April 26th and BroadwayWorld.com's cameras were there!

The design team includes Tim Shortall (Sets), Tobin Ost(Costumes), Rick Fisher (Lights) and Gregory Clarke (Sound).

Written as a response to Molière's The Misanthrope, Hampton's biting bourgeois comedy examines the empty, insular lives of college intellectuals. At the center of the story is Philip (Broderick), a professor who seems almost absurdly removed from the political turmoil surrounding him, including the assassination of the Prime Minister and his cabinet. This is a limited engagement through June 28th, 2009.

Tickets are available by calling Roundabout Ticket Services at (212)719-1300, online at www.roundabouttheatre.org or at the American Airlines Box Office (227 West 42nd Street). 

The Philanthropist plays Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 8:00 p.m. with Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2:00 p.m.
