A lonely waitress. A mysterious drifter. A dingy motel room and lots of paranoia and conspiracy. Tracy Letts' psychological thriller is back, and Carrie Coon is leading the cast. You're gonna need a stress ball for this one.
Becky Shaw

Wanted
Theatre TBA

Twin sisters. Texas, 1893. A little outlaw energy, a lot of drama. This musical was a smash at Paper Mill (back when it was called Gun & Powder) and now it's Broadway-bound. Giddy up.
