Ripper Street's Adam Rothenberg & More Set for Leslye Headland’s The Layover Off-Broadway

Adam Rothenberg (Ripper Street) and more have been tapped for the world premiere of Leslye Headland’s The Layover. Directed by Trip Cullman, tickets are now available for the previously announced production, which will play a limited engagement August 9 through September 18. Opening night is scheduled for August 25 at Second Stage Theatre’s Tony Kiser Theatre.

Along with Rothenberg as Dex, the cast will feature Quincy Dunn-Baker (Draft Day) as Kevin/Arno/Bartender, Arica Himmel (off-Broadway debut), Annie Parisse (Vinyl) as Shellie, John Procaccino (Our Mother’s Brief Affair) as Pilot/Fred and Amelia Workman (Natasha, Pierre…) as Flight Attendant/Mya/Andrea.

Ever wonder who that stranger is sitting next to you? What is their story? What are they hiding? Shellie and Dex dare to answer these questions after their flight is delayed on a snowy Thanksgiving night. What they discover about themselves, and each other, sends both of their lives into upheaval. A psychological thriller from the writer of Bachelorette, The Layover asks the question: Can you ever really get to know somebody when you're hiding so much yourself?

The production will feature scenic design by Mark Wendland, costume design by Clint Ramos, lighting design by Japhy Weideman, sound design by Fitz Patton and video design by Jeff Sugg.
