Water By The Spoonful: Chris Henry Coffey replaces Bill Heck as 'Fountainhead.'

On 05 Feb 2013 Chris Henry Coffey will assume the role of 'Fountainhead' from original cast member Bill Heck for the final week of Second Stage Theatre's production of Quiara Alegría Hudes' 2012 Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Water by the Spoonful.

Coffey is most probably best known for his role as "Charlie" in the 2011 David Schwimmer directed movie "Trust." Off-Broadway he has played 'Kenneth' in Playwrights Horizons 2007 production of Richard Nelson's 'Frank's Home.'

Second Stage Theatre's production of Quiara Alegría Hudes' 2012 Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Water by the Spoonful opened at Second Stage Theatre on 08 Jan 2013, following previews from 11 Dec 2013, and will play its final performance on 10 Feb 2013.

The show opened to mixed, but mostly positive reviews reviews: Gives off a shimmering, sustaining warmth (NY Times); Never rises above lukewarm (New York Post); A worthwhile play that holds your interest (Newsroom Jersey).

Water by the Spoonful: Elliot, a Puerto Rican veteran of the Iraq War, returns home to Philadelphia haunted by demons from the past, his family in flux, and his only career prospect at the local Subway sandwich shop. When his mother's online support group begins to overshadow his aspirations for the future, the real and online worlds - one forged by blood, another by survival - collide.

Water by the Spoonful is the second in a trilogy of plays that began with Hudes' 'Elliot, A Soldier's Fugue,' a play about a young Marine coming to terms with his time in Iraq and his father's and grandfather's service in Vietnam and Korea. The third play in the trilogy, 'The Happiest Song Plays Last,' is scheduled to make its world premiere in Apr 2013 at The Goodman Theatre in Chicago.

Directed by Davis McCallum, the play currently stars Liza Colon-Zayas (Odessa Ortiz), Frankie R. Faison (Chutes & Ladders), Armando Reisco (Elliot Ortiz), Bill Heck (Fountainhead), Zabryna Guevara (Yazmin Ortiz), Sue Jean Kim (Orangutan) and Ryan Shams (Policeman/Professor Aman/Ghost).

The creative team includes sets by Neil Patel, costumes by ESosa, lighting by Russell Champa and sound by Joshua Schmidt.
