Marian Seldes to Star in McNally's Dedication at Primary Stages

Marian Seldes is set to star in the Primary Stages production of Terrence McNally's Dedication, or The Stuff of Dreams. The show is scheduled to run off-Broadway from July 26 to September 18.

Seldes appeared in the play's world premiere at the Williamstown Theatre Festival last August. Her many Broadway credits include Medea, Crime and Punishment, Tiny Alice, A Delicate Balance Tony Award, Father's Day Tony nomination and Drama Desk Award, Equus, Deathtrap, Ivanov, Ring Round the Moon Tony and Drama Desk Award nominations and Dinner at Eight Tony Award nomination. She most recently appeared off-Broadway in Beckett/Albee, which closed in January 2004.

Dedication, or the Stuff of Dreams centers on Lou and Jessie Nuncle, who run a children's theater in a mall in upstate New York. When the possibility of taking over an abandoned vaudeville palace arises, the Nuncles are forced to examine how far their love of theater will take them. The Williamstown Theatre Festival featured Boyd Gaines as Lou Nuncle and Debra Monk as Jessie Nuncle.

Michael Morris will direct the Primary Stages production. Six cast members are still to be announced.
