More casting has been revealed for The Acting Company's upcoming benefit reading of Holiday, Richard Greenberg's new adaptation of the Philip Barry play. As previously announced, Rachel Brosnahan and David Corenswet will star in the October 6 reading at The Gerald W. Lynch Theater, with Robert Falls directing.
Newly announced for the cast are Ella Beatty (Appropriate), Lilli Cooper (The Cottage), Hiram Delgado (Take Me Out), Chris Perfetti (King James), and John Slattery (Mad Men).
In Greenberg's adaptation, the Upper East Side Seton family prepares to welcome free-spirited Johnny Case to the fold, but as New Year’s Eve approaches, the eternal battle between whether one lives to work or works to live threatens to break them all apart.
“A reading with John Slattery, Lilli Cooper, Chris Perfetti, Hiram Delgado, and Ella Beatty joining our stellar cast is truly a Holiday worth celebrating,” says Acting Company Artistic Director Kent Gash in a statement. “Don't miss this new classic from Tony Award winners Richard Greenberg, Falls, and The Acting Company."
Proceeds will benefit The Acting Company’s national tour and education initiatives.
The Acting Company presents the reading by special arrangement with Eric Falkenstein.
