We're counting the days until Tony and Emmy winner Mary-Louise Parker steps back onto a Broadway stage as the star of Sharr White's new play The Snow Geese. Directed by her Tony-winning Proof director Daniel Sullivan, Parker will play Elizabeth Gaesling, a recently widowed, financially ruined mother of two sons who gathers her family in upstate New York at the start of hunting season in 1917. Shadows are cast over the event by her eldest son's imminent deployment to the battlefields of World War I and his younger brother's discovery that their beloved father has left them mired in debt. The Snow Geese starts a limited run at Manhattan Theatre Club's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre on October 1.
