Jill Eikenberry & Dennis Boutsikaris to Headline A Picasso at MTC

Jill Eikenberry will headline the Manhattan Theatre Club production of Jeffrey Hatcher's A Picasso. The two-hander will also star Dennis Boutsikaris, who is replacing originally announced star Jeffrey DeMunn as the title character.

Eikenberry, best known for starring on the hit series L.A Law a show that earned her five Emmy nominations, has appeared on Broadway in Moonchildren, All Over Town, Summer Brave, Watch on the Whine and Onward Victoria. Her off-Broadway credits include Lemon Sky, Save Grand Central, Uncommon Women and Others, The Primary English Class and Lotta.

Boutsikaris, who has a long list of small-screen credits, has appeared on the Great White Way in Bent, Filumena and Amadeus. His off-Broadway credits include All's Well that Ends Well, Cheapside, The Boys Next Door, Sight Unseen for which he won an Obie Award and That Championship Season.

A Picasso is set in Paris during the height of the German occupation. The play centers on an imaginary confrontation between Picasso Boutsikaris and a mysterious interrogator, Miss Fischer Eikenberry, concerning several confiscated works that the great artist might have painted.

A Picasso, directed by John Tillinger, is scheduled to run on Stage II at MTC from March 31 through May 29.
