Gaby Hoffmann Replaces Kelli Garner in subUrbia at 2nd Stage

Child film star Gaby Hoffmann has replaced Kelli Garner in the Second Stage Theatre production of Eric Bogosian's subUrbia. Garner withdrew from the show due to a scheduling conflict with the film Lars and the Real Girl, which is filming in Toronto. subUrbia will now start previews a day late, on September 7, with opening night still set for September 28.

Hoffmann, who will play the role of Sooze, appeared in the Lincoln Center Theater production of Wendy Wasserstein's Third earlier in the year and was seen in The Sugar Syndrome at Williamstown Theatre Festival. As a child, she starred in many hit films including Field of Dreams, Uncle Buck, This Is My Life, Sleepless in Seattle and Now and Then.

subUrbia, which is directed by Jo Bonney, examines a day in the life of seven rootless young Americans who gather in the parking lot of a Pakistani family's convenience store. Also featured in the cast are Diksha Basu, Jessica Capshaw, Kieran Culkin, Michael Esper, Halley Feiffer, Daniel Eric Gold, Manu Narayan and Peter Scanavino.
