Anna Camp, Oliver Hollmann & More to Star in LCT3's VERITE

Anna Camp, Oliver Hollmann, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Robert Sella, Jeanine Serralles, Danny Wolohan, and Damian Young will be featured in the LCT3/Lincoln Center Theater world premiere production of VERITÉ, a new play by Nick Jones, directed by Moritz von Stuelpnagel. VERITÉ begins performances Saturday, January 31, opens Wednesday, February 18, and will run for six weeks only through Sunday, March 15 at the Claire Tow Theater (150 West 65 Street).

In VERITÉ, which was commissioned by LCT3, Jo (to be played by Anna Camp), a struggling writer and stay-at-home mom, is offered an unusual deal for her memoir: she has to make her life exciting enough to publish. As mysterious and even sinister events start happening to her, Jo has to decide how far she is willing to go to make her life into art, and whether it's all coincidence or if someone is determined to make sure her memoir is a best-seller at any cost.

VERITÉ will have sets by Andrew Boyce, costumes by Paloma Young, lighting by Matthew Richards, sound by Stowe Nelson, and original music by Ryan Rumery.

Playwright NICK JONES returns to LCT3 where his play The Coward was originally produced. Author of the recent hit play Trevor, starring Steven Boyer as a has-been show biz chimp, his other plays include Salome of the Moon, The Wundeisteipen, Little Building, Straight Up Vampire: A History of Vampires in Colonial Pennsylvania as Performed to the Music of Paula Abdul, Canada's Mid-Riff, The Last One Man Show, The Nosemaker's Apprentice, The Sporting Life, and The Colonists, a puppet work for children. His show Jollyship the Whiz-Bang premiered at Ars Nova where it enjoyed an extended run and was subsequently revived for the Under the Radar Festival at the Public Theater. He is currently at work on the film version of The Coward with Big Beach/American Work and he is a writer and co-producer of the Netflix series Orange is the New Black.

MORITZ von STUELPNAGEL directed Nick Jones's Trevor. He is the Artistic Director of Studio 42 where he directed the plays My Base and Scurvy Heart, Spacebar, and Historie of the Barber-Surgeons. His other Off-Broadway credits include the critically acclaimed Hand To God (which will re-open on Broadway this March), Bike America, Love Song of the Albanian Sous Chef, The Bird & the 2-Ton Weight, Best Sex Ever, Turnabout, Susan Gets Some Play, and Burning Down To Heaven, at such theatres as Ensemble Studio Theatre, Here Arts Center, Ars Nova, and The Culture Project.

VERITÉ will be performed Monday and Wednesday through Sunday evenings at 7pm, with matinees Saturday and Sunday at 2pm. Tickets, priced at $20 for all performances, will be available at the Lincoln Center Theater box office, at telecharge.com, or by visiting www.LCT3.org.

Mellon Foundation, Time Warner Foundation, The Educational Foundation of America, the J & AR Foundation, and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
