The play about a man who hears the voice of God during a workplace tragedy — and later wants to spread His message — is a co-production with MCC in New York City, where David Duchovny originated the role this fall. Tracee Chimo (as a call girl and a talk-show host) and Radio Golf's John Earl Jelks (as a lawyer and a cop) will make the move from Off-Broadway to L.A., but Amanda Peet (doubling as ex-wife and a lover) will not. Catherine Dent (TV's "The Shield") will take Peet's roles.

Directed again by Jo Bonney, The Break of Noon begins previews at the Geffen on Jan. 25, 2011. The run continues to March 6, 2011.

Anderson was nominated for a Tony Award for his role in Death of a Salesman. His Broadway and Off-Broadway include the musical Brooklyn, Orphans, Orpheus Descending, Moonchildren, Brilliant Traces, The Red Address, Speaking in Tongues and Summer and Smoke. London theatre credits include the original Joe Gillis in Sunset Boulevard, Dinner with Friends and as Andy Dufresne in the new stage adaptation of The Shawshank Redemption.

The Break of Noon marks the fourth time LaBute's work has been at the Geffen Playhouse; his past works at the theatre include Fat Pig (also directed by Bonney), Some Girl(s) and Wrecks, all of which ran in the Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater.
