Dry Powder, Starring John Krasinski & Claire Danes, Extends Off-Broadway Run

The world premiere of Sarah Burgess’ Dry Powder has extended its run at the Public Theater for the second time. The off-Broadway production, starring The Office’s John Krasinski and Emmy winner Claire Danes, will now run through May 1. Performances begin on March 1, with opening night set for March 22.

In addition to Krasinski and Danes, the cast features Emmy winner and Tony nominee Hank Azaria and Broadway alum Sanjit De Silva. Hamilton helmer Thomas Kail directs.

The play follows Rick (Azaria), who throws an extravagant engagement party immediately following massive layoffs at a national grocery chain by his private equity firm. Fortunately, Seth (Krasinski), one of Rick’s managing directors, has a win-win deal to invest in an American-made luggage company for a song and rescue his boss from the company’s PR disaster. But Jenny (Danes), Seth’s counterpart, has an entirely different plan: to squeeze every last penny out of the company, no matter the human toll.
