NewsPhoto Call: Alicia Silverstone, Heather Lind and Jennifer Mudge Celebrate Opening Night of Of Good StockAlicia Silverstone returns to the stage in Manhattan Theatre Club's New York premiere of Melissa Ross' Of Good Stock which opened June 31 under the direction of artistic director Lynne Meadow.
Silverstone, Lind and Mudge play the three Stockon sisters, who, according to press notes, are "witty, brilliant, beautiful – and a total mess, thanks to the legacy of their complicated novelist father." In Ross' new play, the women meet at their family home on Cape Cod for a weekend that sparks passions, humor and unexpected surprises. Ross' earlier plays include Thinner Than Water, You Are Here and Do Something Pretty.
