Photo Flash: First Look at T.R. Knight and More in POCATELLO at Playwrights Horizons

Playwrights Horizons' production of POCATELLO, the world premiere of a new play by Obie, Drama Desk and Lortel awards winner and 2014 MacArthur Foundation "Genius" grantee Samuel D. Hunter (The Whale at PH, The Few, A Bright New Boise), is directed by Davis McCallum (The Whale at PH, The Few, London Wall, A Bright New Boise, Water by the Spoonful). The production is currently in previews with an opening set for Monday, December 15. The limited engagement will play through Sunday evening, January 4, 2015. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast onstage below!

Crystal Finn (16 Words or Less, Breaking the Spell) joins a cast starring Jessica Dickey (Wit, Hit the Wall, The Amish Project, Iron), Tony Award nominee Jonathan Hogan (As Is, The Homecoming, Burn This, Fifth of July, Balm in Gilead), Brian Hutchison (Go Back to Where You Are at PH; Exit the King, Man and Boy), Leah Karpel(Jeff Award for Hot L Baltimore at Steppenwolf, 4000 Miles at Long Wharf, The Whale at Victory Gardens), television and stage star T.R.

Eddie (Mr. Knight) manages an Italian chain restaurant in POCATELLO - a small, unexceptional American city that is slowly being paved over with strip malls and franchises. But he can't serve enough Soup, Salad and Breadstick Specials to make his hometown feel like home. Against the harsh backdrop of Samuel D. Hunter's Idaho, this heartbreaking comedy is a cry for connection in an increasingly lonely American landscape.

The production will feature scenic design by Lauren Helpern, costume design by Jessica Pabst, lighting design by Eric Southern and sound design by Matt Tierney. Production Stage Manager is Lisa Ann Chernoff.
