LI's Edie Falco, Ruben Santiago-Hudson to star in Manhattan Theatre Club dramas
Manhattan Theatre Club will be returning on a high note this fall with some help from a former Soprano. On Monday, the group revealed the dates for its two fall productions, including one starring Emmy Award winner Edie Falco.
Ruben Santiago Hudson's one-man show "Lackwanna Blues," in which he plays more than 20 characters, will begin previews on Sept. 14 and open Sept. 28 at Broadway's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. Then on Oct. 12, previews will launch for "Morning Sun" starring Northport-raised Falco, Blair Brown and Marin Ireland, at New York City Center's Stage 1. The play, about a woman who ponders her life from 1970s Greenwich Village to the present time, is set to open on Nov. 3.
Tickets go on sale Aug. 10 for "Lackawanna Blues" and Sept. 7 for "Morning Sun" at telecharge.com.
Dates for MCT's winter and spring productions — "Skeleton Crew," "Prayer for the French Republic," "How I Learned to Drive" and "Golden Shield" — will be announced at a later time.
