Christmas Comes Early! Tina Fey, Michael Shannon & More Headline Benefit Reading of Reckless

Emmy winner Tina Fey, along with stage favorites (from left above) Jenni Barber, Leslie Kritzer, Michael Esper, Daniel Breaker, Michael Shannon, Quincy Tyler Bernstine and playwright-turned-stage-directions-reader Amy Herzog, joined forces to bring Craig Lucas' hallucinatory Christmas fable Reckless to New York audiences on October 28. The dark comedy (which debuted at off-Broadway's Circle Repertory Theatre in 1989 and was revived on Broadway in 2004 starring Mary-Louise Parker) was given a reading at the Peter Jay Sharp Theatre benefitting Safe Horizon, an organization that helps victims of violence restore their lives. Reckless follows Rachel (Fey), a housewife who discovers her husband has hired a hit man to kill her and must flee for her life—which she does by scrambling out the kitchen window. Check out our Hot Shot of this star-studded event, directed by Kate Whoriskey and produced by the Indigo Theatre Project, and let's hope it inspires Fey to make her stage debut!
