David Rabe's Good for Otto Gets Star Studded Cast with F. Murray Abraham, Ed Harris, Mark Linn-Baker, Amy Madigan, Rhea Perl
David Rabe’s Good for Otto Gets Star Studded Cast With F. Murray Abraham, Ed Harris, Mark Linn-Baker, Amy Madigan, Rhea Perlman and More t2conline.com/david-rabes-good-for-otto-gets-star-studded-cast-with-f-murray-abraham-ed-harris-mark-linn-baker-amy- madigan-rhea-perlman-and-more/ Suzanna January 30, 2018 Bowling F. Murray Abraham (Barnard), Kate Buddeke (Jane), Laura Esterman (Mrs. Garland), Nancy Giles (Marci), Lily Gladstone (Denise), Ed Harris (Dr. Michaels), Charlotte Hope (Mom), Mark Linn- Baker (Timothy), Amy Madigan (Evangeline), Rileigh McDonald (Frannie), Kenny Mellman (Jerome), Maulik Pancholy (Alex), Rhea Perlman (Nora) and Michael Rabe (Jimmy), will lite up the star in the New York premiere of David Rabe’s Good for Otto. Rhea Perlman took over the role of Nora, after Rosie O’Donnell, became ill. Directed by Scott Elliott, this production will play a limited Off-Broadway engagement February 20 – April 1, with Opening Night on Thursday, March 8 at The Pershing Square Signature Center (The Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre, 480 West 42nd Street). Through the microcosm of a rural Connecticut mental health center, Tony Award-winning playwright David Rabe conjures a whole American community on the edge. Like their patients and their families, Dr. Michaels (Ed Harris), his colleague Evangeline (Amy Madigan) and the clinic itself teeter between breakdown and survival, wielding dedication and humanity against the cunning, inventive adversary of mental illness, to hold onto the need to fight – and to live. Inspired by a real clinic, Rabe finds humor and compassion in a raft of richly drawn characters adrift in a society and a system stretched beyond capacity.

Buried Child Debuts on Theater Close-Up Showcasing the Best of Off-Broadway & Regional Theater November 28 at 9 P.M
Press Contact: Harry Forbes 212-560-8027 or [email protected] Sam Shepard’s Pulitzer Prize-Winning Buried Child Debuts on Theater Close-Up Showcasing the Best of Off-Broadway & Regional Theater November 28 at 9 p.m. on THIRTEEN Ed Harris & Amy Madigan head acclaimed production from The New Group Theater Close-Up , the unique collaboration between THIRTEEN and the large community of New York City area non-profit Off-Broadway theaters, will present Sam Shepard’s Pulitzer Prize- winning play Buried Child in Scott Elliott’s acclaimed production from The New Group, Monday, November 28 at 9 p.m. on THIRTEEN, with an encore presentation on Friday, December 2 at 3:30 a.m. The play will also air Sunday, December 18 at 10 p.m. on WLIW21. Actress Blythe Danner hosts the broadcast. This production features Ed Harris as Dodge, Amy Madigan as Halie, Rich Sommer and Paul Sparks as sons Bradley and Tilden, respectively, Nat Wolff as grandson Vince, Taissa Farmiga as Vince's girlfriend Shelly, and Larry Pine as Father Dewis. The play -- captured live on-stage during the March 30 BroadwayHD livestream-- was revived 20 years after its last major New York production. Dodge (Harris) and Halie (Madigan) are barely hanging on to their farmland and their sanity while looking after their two wayward grown sons (Sommer and Sparks). When their grandson Vince (Wolff) arrives with his girlfriend (Farmiga), no one seems to recognize him, and confusion abounds. As Vince tries to make sense of the chaos, the rest of the family dances around a deep, dark secret.

To Our Guest Directors, Designers and Stage Managers
To our guest directors, designers and stage managers, Welcome! We are delighted that you have chosen to be a part of our 31st Season. We are looking forward to a year full of new challenges, rewards, and friendships. We hope to make your time with us enjoyable and productive, and to this end we have provided you with this informational packet. Please take the time to browse the packet and learn a bit about us. Included in your handbook are production calendar(s), contacts (as current) for your production’s artistic team, information about the shops and the design deadlines, and much more. Please take the time to review our prelim and final design deadline materials requirements. Please contact the production office, or the respective production department head(s) for the most current drawings, inventories and information as this info is updated more often than our handbook. We will all have to work hard to realize your vision within a tight and conservative financial structure. We have had to cut back after our 30th Anniversary season with it’s $1 million dollar supplemental gift to budgets that are more reflective of the new normal of these leaner times. Last season our average show budget was over $160,000. This year the average is less than $100,000. Please consider yourself forewarned that we want your help. We need you to adhere to design deadlines, return those phone calls and emails as soon as you can, in order that we get the most bang for the buck. Sometimes we start a little early in order make the best use of our labor resources.
