Baker, Harelik, and Hecht to Star in Greenberg's The House in Town

A starry cast will grace the Lincoln Center Theatre premiere of The House in Town, a new play by Richard Greenberg that will begin performances on May 24th and open on June 19th at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theatre.

The play will feature Becky Ann Baker (Rabbit Hole, Assassins), Dan Bittner, Mark Harelik (The Light in the Piazza), Jessica Hecht (Julius Caesar) and Armand Schultz (A View from the Bridge). Tony Award-winner Doug Hughes, who recently helmed Greenberg's A Naked Girl on the Appian Way as well as plays such as A Touch of the Poet and Doubt, will direct.

The play is set in pre-Black Tuesday 1929 and follows the marriage of a rich married couple. The prolific Greenberg's The Well-Appointed Room was presented earlier this year at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre, while his Bal Masque (centering around Truman Capote's legendary Black and White Ball) will premiere at Washington, D.C.'s Theatre J in April. His older play Three Days of Rain--starring Julia Roberts and Paul Rudd--begins previews tonight on Broadway.
