Deirdre O'Connell to Star in Abe Koogler's Fulfillment Center Off-Broadway

Stage and screen alum Deirdre O’Connell will star in the world premiere of Abe Koogler’s Fulfillment Center. The Manhattan Theatre Club off-Broadway production will begin performances on June 6, 2017 at New York City Center—Stage II; opening night is set for June 20. Daniel Aukin will direct.

In the show, O’Connell will play Suzan, a struggling folk singer in New Mexico who starts a job at an online retailer’s shipping center. Through her new work she meets her young manager, his girlfriend and a local drifter, and their lives begin to intersect in dangerous ways.

O’Connell received a Lucille Lortel Award nomination for her performance in last year’s By the Water; her additional stage credits include Magic/Bird and The Front Page on Broadway, as well as The Way West, Circle Mirror Transformation and Little Children Dream of God. She has appeared on screen in the upcoming film The Boy Downstairs, plus The Path, The Affair and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Additional casting and creative team will be announced at a later date.
