The Snow Geese: Mary-Louise Parker to star

Manhattan Theatre Club and MCC Theater will co-produce the world premiere of The Snow Geese, a new play by Sharr White, directed by Tony Award winner Daniel Sullivan (Proof), starring Mary-Louise Parker ("Weeds").

Additional casting, creative team, and other listings information for The Snow Geese will be announced in the coming weeks.

The strictly limited 11-week engagement of The Snow Geese will open at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre on 24 Oct 2013, following previews from 01 Oct 2013, and close on 15 Dec 2013.

Parker returns to the Friedman stage where she previously starred in Craig Lucas' 'Reckless' for which she received a 2004 Tony Award nomination. The Snow Geese also reunites Parker with Daniel Sullivan, who directed her in David Auburn's 'Proof,' for which both Parker and Sullivan received Tony Awards for their work.

The Snow Geese: With World War I raging abroad, newly widowed Elizabeth Gaesling (Mary-Louise Parker) gathers her family for their annual shooting party to mark the opening of hunting season in rural, upstate New York. But Elizabeth is forced to confront a new reality as her carefree eldest son comes to terms with his impending deployment overseas and her younger son discovers that the father they all revered left them deeply in debt. Together, the family must let go of the life they've always known.

Additional casting, creative team, and other listings information for The Snow Geese will be announced in the coming weeks.

The Snow Geese marks the second collaboration between MTC, MCC, and playwright Sharr White. This winter, MTC produced the Broadway premiere of White's play 'The Other Place,' which had its world premiere at MCC Theater in 2011.
