O.C.
Star Heads 'Swimming in the Shallows' Cast Off-Broadway
June 22, 2005
Logan Marshall-Green
— of television's "The O.C." and "24"
— stars in the New York premiere of Adam Bock's Swimming in
the Shallows for Second Stage Theatre Uptown, starting June 21.
Two works will play at the
company's uptown home McGinn/Cazale Theatre (located above The Promenade
Theatre) this summer, each for a four-week run. Swimming in the
Shallows runs through July 17 while Dan O'Brien's The Dear Boy is
slated for Aug. 1-27
Trip Cullman
(The Last Sunday in June) directs the Bock comedy in which
a "group of friends question the commitments of their
eclectic love lives" as one man finds love at a local
aquarium.
Marshall-Green
(The Distance From Here) appears opposite Michael Arden (Big River,
Bare), Rosemarie DeWitt (Danny and the Deep Blue Sea), Mary Schultz
(Little Egypt, Slavs!), Susan Pourfar (The Last Sunday in June)
and Murphy Geyer (Art - Cleveland Play House, "The Sopranos,"
"Oz") in the first work. No casting for The Dear Boy has
been announced yet.
Michael
John Garcés (The Triple Happiness, Finer Noble Gases) will
stage the world premiere of The Dear Boy, about an English teacher
on the verge of retirement "questions the life he didn't live
[when] unexpected encounters with two students help him realize
who he is and what he has accomplished."
The
Uptown series debuted with three American plays — Joe Calarco's
...in the absence of spring..., Wendy Kesselman's The Notebook (directed
by Evan Yionoulis) and Hunt Holman's Spanish Girl (dir. Erica Schmidt).
The program returned last summer following renovations at the McGinn/Cazale
Theatre with Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's The Mystery Plays starring
Gaving Creel and Brooke Berman's The Triple Happiness with Ally
Sheedy.
