Casting Complete for Theresa Rebeck's Our House at Playwrights Horizons

Casting is complete for Playwrights Horizons’ forthcoming production of Theresa Rebeck’s Our House, the final production of the 2008-2009 season. Directed by Michael Mayer, the play will begin previews on May 15 at Playwrights Horizons’ Mainstage Theatre and open on June 9. The limited engagement will run through June 21.

The cast will feature Morena Baccarin TV’s Stargate SG-1, Katie Kreisler Psych, Gone Missing, TV’s Medium, Stephen Kunken Rock ‘N Roll, Frost/Nixon, Proof, Fabulation, Mandy Siegfried Refuge, The Mineola Twins, Stupid Kids, Jeremy Strong Frank’s Home, A Man for All Seasons, New Jerusalem, Haynes Thigpen Misalliance and Christopher Evan Welch The Marriage of Bette and Boo, The Pain and the Itch, Rebeck’s The Scene.

Described as a deliciously scathing new comedy that takes on a media-obsessed culture, Our House centers a cocksure TV bigshot Welch who, faced with dwindling ratings, installs America’s favorite news anchor Baccarin as host of a popular reality show. Meanwhile, in Middle America, a houseful of roommates bicker over high-stakes real-world conflicts: Merv Strong doesn’t clean the bathroom. Someone ate Alice’s Kreisler yogurt. And the rent is long past due. When reality collides with reality TV, audiences find themselves front and center in a drama that holds the nation riveted.

The production will feature scenic design by Derek McLane, costume design by Susan Hilferty, lighting design by Kenneth Posner and sound design by Darron L. West.
