When We Were Young...: Cherry Jones

Two-time Tony Award winner Cherry Jones ('Doubt,' 'The Heiress') will return to Manhattan Theatre Club at New York City Center - Stage I for the world premiere of When We Were Young and Unafraid, a new play by Sarah Treem ("House of Cards," "In Treatment"), directed by Tony Award nominee Pam MacKinnon ('Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,' 'Clybourne Park').

The limited engagement of When We Were Young and Unafraid will begin previews 22 May 2014 and open Tue 17 Jun 2014.

Jones returns to MTC after originating the role of 'Sister Aloysius' in John Patrick Shanley's 'Doubt,' for which she won a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play. Jones received her first Tony Award for 'The Heiress' and an Emmy Award for her role as "President Allison Taylor" in "24."

Agnes (Cherry Jones) has turned her quiet bed and breakfast into one of the few spots where a woman on the run can seek refuge. But to Agnes' dismay, her latest young runaway Mary Anne is having a profound influence on her teenage daughter Penny, forcing each girl to question her destiny. And as the drums of the feminist revolution grow louder, Agnes is forced to confront her own presumptions about the people she's been trying to help.

Additional casting and creative team members will be announced in the coming weeks.
