It's been a busy week for Broadway's Orphans, Lyle Kessler's play starring Alec Baldwin, Ben Foster, and Tom Sturridge. The show opened on Broadway last night, and a starry audience including Dakota Fanning, Tina Fey, Jane Krakowski, Winona Ryder, Sienna Miller, Anna Chlumsky, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Richard Schiff, Anna Wintour, Debbie Harry, Melissa Errico and Patrick McEnroe, Bridget Moynahan and Michael Shannon. Plus, Charlie Rose interviewed the cast on his PBS show on Wednesday evening. Watch it HERE!

This production of Orphans, directed by Daniel Sullivan, marks the play's first Broadway staging. In the play, two orphaned brothers are living in a decrepit North Philadelphia row house. Treat, the eldest, (Foster), supports his damaged younger sibling Phillip (Sturridge) by petty thievery, and makes the house a virtual prison for the seemingly simple-minded Phillip. One night he kidnaps a rich older man, Harold (Baldwin), who turns out to have his own motives and becomes the father figure the boys have always yearned for.

Tom Sturridge is appearing with the support of Actors' Equity Association. The Producers gratefully acknowledge Actors' Equity Association for its assistance of this production.

Tickets for Orphans are now on sale and can be purchased by calling Telecharge at 212-239-6200 or online at www.telecharge.com.
