John Cullum to Join Harris in Dorfman's The Other Side at MTC

Tony Award winner John Cullum will join Rosemary Harris in the Manhattan Theatre Club premiere of Ariel Dorfman's The Other Side. The play is set to start performances at City Center's Stage I on November 10.

Cullum is a two-time Tony winner for his performances in Shenandoah in 1975 and On the Twentieth Century in 1978. He was also Tony-nominated for his work in On a Clear Day You Can See Forever in 1966 and most recently for his performance as Caldwell B. Cladwell in Urinetown. His other theatrical credits include Boys in Autumn, Hamlet, 1776, All My Sons, Show Boat, Old Money, Mr. Peters' Connections, Rose's Dilemma, Wilder, Sin: A Cardinal Deposed and The Dresser as well as the recent Purlie at Encores!.

The Other Side is set in a war torn country where a man Cullum and a woman Harris wait. They pass their days identifying the casualties. When peace and a border guard arrive, their bleakly predictable world unravels. Blanka Zika directs.

The Other Side will officially open on December 6.
