Amy Irving & More Complete the Cast of Zoe Kazan's We Live Here at MTC

Oscar nominee Amy Irving, Mark Blum and Jessica Collins will complete the cast of Manhattan Theatre Club’s world premiere production of We Live Here by Zoe Kazan, joining previously announced cast members Betty Gilpin, Oscar Isaac and Jeremy Shamos. The play will begin previews on September 22 and open on October 12 at New York City Center Stage I, directed by Sam Gold.

We Live Here centers the wedding of Allie Bateman (Collins) and Sandy (Shamos). When Dinah (Gilpin), her precocious younger sister, returns to the home of their parents (Irving and Blum) for the festivities, she brings more than anyone expected: a new boyfriend (Isaac) whose hidden history resurrects passions and painful memories for the whole family. Over one emotionally charged weekend, the Batemans must acknowledge and accept loss to gain hope for regeneration.

An Oscar nominee for Yentl and Golden Globe nominee for Crossing Delancey, Irving has appeared on Broadway in The Coast of Utopia, The Three Sisters, Broken Glass, Amadeus and Heartbreak House. Off-Broadway credits include Road to Mecca, Ghosts, Waters of March and A Safe Harbor for Elizabeth Bishop.

Collins has appeared on the New York stage in Pygmalion and Manic Flight Reaction and starred in the TV series Rubicon and The Nine.

Blum’s Broadway credits include Twelve Angry Men, The Graduate, A Thousand Clowns, Gore Vidal’s The Best Man, Lost in Yonkers, My Thing of Love and The Merchant. Off-Broadway credits include After the Revolution, The Overwhelming, The Waverly Gallery, The Long Christmas Ride Home, The Music Teacher, The Seagull, Mizlansky/Zilinsky, Gus and Al (Obie), It’s Only A Play, Little Footsteps, Key Exchange, Table Settings and Say Goodnight Gracie.

The creative team for We Live Here includes John Lee Beatty (scenic design), David Zinn (costume design), Ben Stanton (lighting design), Ryan Rumery (sound design), and Thomas Schall (fight direction).
