Catherine Kellner Unexpectedly Exits Hurlyburly for Personal Reasons

Catherine Kellner unexpectedly left the off-Broadway revival of Hurlyburly last week for "personal reasons," according to a production spokesperson. Understudy Diana Ruppe has been going on in the role of Bonnie and will continue to do so until a permanent replacement is brought on board.

Kellner appeared on Broadway in The Iceman Cometh. Her off-Broadway credits include The Long Christmas Ride Home, Necessary Targets, You Never Can Tell, Minutes from The Blue Route, Refuge, Escape from Happiness and Troilus and Cressida. She has numerous film credits, including Pearl Harbor, Six Degrees of Separation, 200 Cigarettes, Restaurant, Restless, Rosewood, Shaft, No Way Home, Murder and Murder, The Truth About Tully, Spring Forward, 30 Days and A Day at the Beach.

Hurlyburly, currently running at 37 Arts, also stars Ethan Hawke, Josh Hamilton, Parker Posey, Bobby Cannavale, Wallace Shawn and Halley Wegryn Gross. A replacement for Kellner is expected to be announced shortly.
