Signature Theatre's Off-Broadway revival of The Young Man from Atlanta, Horton Foote's Pulitzer Prize–winning drama, officially opened November 24. Directed by Michael Wilson, the production stars Tony nominee Kristine Nielsen (Gary) and Emmy nominee Aidan Quinn (Elementary).
In The Young Man from Atlanta, Lily (Nielsen) and Will (Quinn) are reeling from the death of their only child. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly modernizing 1950s Houston, their lives are turned upside down once again when a figure from their son’s past shows up in town.
