Producer Scott Rudin Sets Broadway Return With New Play Starring Laurie Metcalf And Micah Stock; Joe Mantello Will Direct


Producers Scott Rudin and Barry Diller announced today that Samuel D. Hunter’s Little Bear Ridge Road will premiere on Broadway for a limited 18-week run this fall in a production starring Laurie Metcalf and Micah Stock, under the direction of Joe Mantello. Metcalf and Stock will reprise their acclaimed performances from the production’s world premiere […]

In a New York Times profile three months ago, Rudin announced his plans to resume his producing career, saying has undergone “a decent amount of therapy.” He called his previous behavior “bone-headed” and “narcissistic.” The synopsis: “On the remote outskirts of a small Idaho town, a razor-tongued aunt and her long-estranged nephew find themselves suddenly back in each other’s orbit—two lonely souls with a crumbling house to sell and a tangled history to unravel. Bitingly funny and quietly explosive, Little Bear Ridge Road is a sharply etched portrait of two people reaching across emotional galaxies—searching for meaning and fumbling toward connection, even as they fear it might swallow them whole.
