Marsha Mason to Join Off-Broadway Revival of I Never Sang for My Father

Four-time Academy Award nominee Marsha Mason will join previously announced stars Keir Dullea and Matt Servitto in Keen Company’s forthcoming off-Broadway revival of Robert Anderson’s I Never Sang for My Father. The play will begin previews on March 23 and open on April 4 at the Clurman Theater on Theater Row, continuing through May 1, directed by Jonathan Silverstein.

First produced on Broadway in 1968, I Never Sang for My Father explores one son’s struggle to balance his own happiness with the needs of his aging parents, and his yearning for a closer relationship with the father he cannot change. Gene Garrison (Servitto) is a grown man with a successful career, but when his parents (Dullea and Mason) arrive for a visit, he finds himself in the awkward position of feeling like a child again. When tragedy strikes, Gene is forced to examine his responsibility to himself and his family in new ways. The Keen revival will also feature Rose Courtney and Melissa Miller.

Mason recently appeared on Broadway in Impressionism and Steel Magnolias, and off-Broadway in A Feminine Ending. On the big screen, she received Oscar nominations for Only When I Laugh, The Goodbye Girl, Chapter Two and Cinderella Liberty.

The off-Broadway revival of I Never Sang for My Father (presented in association with Wiltsie Bridge Productions) will have set design by Bill Clarke, costume design by Theresa Squire, lighting design by Josh Bradford and sound design by Will Pickens.
