Richard Masur and Hunter Foster to Star in Off-Broadway Thriller Dust

Emmy Award nominee Richard Masur and Tony Award nominee Hunter Foster will star in Dust, a new thriller by Billy Goda Final Appeal. Previews begin downstairs at The Westside Theatre on November 18, with opening night set for December 4. Scott Zigler will direct.

Dust is a power play involving an executive with money and a paunch and ex-con with street smarts and a minimum-wage position. If the executive says “jump,” the con won’t say “how high,” but returns with a defiant “why?” What starts off as a battle of wills over who will do the dusting escalates into a war for respect, the upper hand and survival. In addition to Masur and Foster, the cast of Dust includes Laura E. Campbell, Curtis McClarin and John Schiappa.

Masur’s Broadway and off-Broadway credits include Democracy, The Changing Room, 2000 Years, A Feminine Ending, The Ruby Sunrise, Sarah, Sarah and The Exonerated.
