Playwrights Horizons announces cast of Rancho Viejo
Playwrights Horizons has now announced the complete cast for its upcoming world premiere of Dan LeFranc's comedy Rancho Viejo, directed by three-time Obie Award winner Daniel Aukin, which will begin previews on 11 November 2016, before an official opening on 6 December and a limited engagement through to 23 December 2016.
The cast of Rancho Viejo includes (in alphabetical order) Ruth Aguilar (Anita), Obie Award winner Mark Blum (Pete), Bill Buell (Mike), Ethan Dubin (Taters), seven-time Emmy nominee Julia Duffy (Patti), Tyrone Mitchell Henderson (Leon), Lusia Strus (Suzanne), Emmy winner and Oscar & Tony nominee Mare Winningham (Mary) and Mark Zeisler (Gary).
Synopsis: "We never meet young Richie and Lonna, whose marriage is on the rocks. But miles and miles away, in the affluent southwestern suburb where their parents live, this couple's separation is disturbing the tranquility of a community they've barely met. In Dan LeFranc's comedy of anxiety and awkward neighbors, the residents of Rancho Viejo drift from one gathering to the next, wrestling life's grandest themes while fending off existential despair - set against the lustful, yearning strains of a distant bolero."
The creative team behind Rancho Viejo has also been announced and features scenic design by Dane Laffrey, costume design by Jessica Pabst, lighting design by Matt Frey and sound design by Tony winner Leon Rothenberg.
