Johanna Day and Tim Hopper Join the Cast of Coen's Evening

Johanna Day and Tim Hopper are joining the cast of Atlantic Theater Company's production of Ethan Coen's Almost an Evening. The piece, which is transferring from the Atlantic stage to a limited run at The Theatres at 45 Bleecker Street, will begin previews there on March 20 and open on April 2.

Day and Hopper join F. Murray Abraham, J.R. Horne, Jordan Lage, Mark Linn-Baker, Mary McCann, Del Pentecost and Joey Slotnick.

Almost an Evening is comprised of three short plays that unsuccessfully tackle important questions. In Waiting, someone waits somewhere for quite some time. In Four Benches, a voyage to self-discovery takes a British intelligence agent to steam baths in New York and Texas, and to park benches in the U.S. and U.K. In Debate, cosmic questions are taken up. Not much is learned.

Day, a Tony nominee for Proof, recently starred in Edward Albee's Peter and Jerry off-Broadway. Hopper, a Steppenwolf Theater Company member, has appeared on Broadway in the revival of Present Laughter, won an Obie Award for More Stately Mansions off-Broadway and starred on the HBO series Oz.

Almost an Evening, directed by Neil Pepe, will play through June 1.
