Broadway alum and Pitch Perfect star Anna Camp will lead the cast of Nick Jones’ Verité. The world premiere production, presented by Lincoln Center’s LCT3 program, will begin performances on January 31, 2015 at the Claire Tow Theater, where it will run through March 15. Opening night is set for February 18. Moritz von Stuelpnagel will direct.
Joining Camp in the cast are Damian Young, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Robert Sella, Jeanine Serralles, Danny Wolohan and Oliver Hollmann.
Camp, perhaps most known for her performance in Pitch Perfect and The Help, appeared on Broadway in Equus and The Country Girl. Young, whose Broadway credits include Sacrilege and All My Sons, has appeared on screen recently in Birdman and Unbreakable. Moss-Bachrach’s off-Broadway credits include Three Sisters, The Glass Menagerie, On the Mountain and Fifth of July. Sella has appeared on Broadway in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Cabaret, Side Man and My Fair Lady. Serralles returns to LCT3 after performing in 2009’s Stunning; she has also appeared in The Muscles in Our Toes, The Jammer and Paris Commune. Wolohan’s stage credits include An Octoroon and Patron Saint. Verité marks Hollman’s professional stage debut.
In Verité, stay-at-home mom and struggling writer Jo (Camp) is offered an unusual deal for her memoir: she has to make her life exciting enough to publish. As mysterious and sinister events begin to unfold around her, she must question how far she is willing to go to make her life into art, and if someone is determined to make sure her memoir is a best-seller—at any cost.
