Stockard Channing And Robert Sean Leonard Lead Industry Presentation Of Devlin Elliott's BROKEN, Directed By Teddy Bergman

Broken, a new play by Devlin Elliott, will have an industry presentation today, February 8, in New York City. Directed by Teddy Bergman (KPOP, Empire Travel Agency), the cast is led by three-time Emmy and Tony Award winner Stockard Channing and Tony Award winner Robert Sean Leonard who star as a birth-mother and son reunited after decades apart.

How do you confront the demons of your past? Especially when your past is still very much alive. In Broken, Vincent is visiting his birth-mother for the first time after being given up for adoption when he was seven. He's been waiting over 40 years to know "why" from a woman who has no interest in reliving the past. A funny and heart-breaking emotional tug of war between past and present, truth and deception, healing and being broken.

Completing the cast are Mary Bacon (Giant), Elise Kibler (The Heidi Chronicles, This Is Our Youth), and Joshua Satine (A Simple Favor).

This invitation-only reading will take place at the MTC Rehearsal Studios (311 West 43rd Street).
