Neve Campbell to Star in Arthur Miller's Resurrection Blues at the Old Vic

Neve Campbell will star in the Old Vic mounting of Arthur Miller's Resurrection Blues, according to a production spokesperson. The production, directed by Robert Altman, is scheduled to run February 14 through April 22.

Campbell trained as a ballerina from a young age and acted onstage in her native Canada before hitting it big on American television. She played the Degas Girl in The Phantom of the Opera at Toronto's Pantages Theater and also appeared in theatrical mountings of The Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty. But it was on the small screen, where Campbell really made a name for herself. She rose to fame playing Julia Salinger on the hit TV series Party of Five, which ran from 1994 to 2000. She then made the leap to the big screen with roles in The Craft, the Scream movies, 54, Wild Things and The Company. Campbell was expected to make her Broadway debut last fall in Allan Knee's Syncopation, but the production was canceled. Earlier this year she was featured in the Showtime version of the musical Reefer Madness. She was announced to star in an off-Broadway production of Michael Weller's Loose Ends this fall, but the production never materialized.

Set in the mountains of a South American banana republic, Resurrection Blues takes a look at a community in which a revolution is brewing. When the rebels' messiah-like leader is captured on orders from the area's dictator, a New York production company swoops in to televise his execution--death by crucifixion--and an explosive chain of events ensues. Campbell will play Jeanine, the depressed daughter of the dictator's cousin.

Resurrection Blues is set to officially open on March 2.
