New York, NY-8/2112-Actor Paul Rudd attends Broadway's 'Grace' cast photocall at the Grace Hotel on West 45th Street.
Paul Rudd returns to Broadway with Academy Award¨ nominee Michael Shannon (ÒBoardwalk EmpireÓ, Revolutionary Road), seven-time Emmy Award¨-winner Ed Asner (ÒThe Mary Tyler Moore ShowÓ, Up!) and Steppenwolf's Kate Arrington in the acclaimed dark comedy by award-winning writer Craig Wright (Mistakes Were Made, ÒSix Feet UnderÓ). Dexter Bullard (Tracy LettsÕ Bug) directs. In alternating scenes of hilarity and poignancy, life turns surreal for an eclectic foursome whose destinies collide in the Sunshine State. A wide-eyed young couple (RUDD & ARRINGTON) head south with big plans to open a chain of Gospel-themed motels. When an agitated Rocket-Scientist (SHANNON) and prickly pest-control man (ASNER) enter the picture, the couple's ordered world is thrown into utter chaos. GRACE examines those illusive paradoxes: Believing vs. Knowing, Love vs. Loyalty, Coincidence vs. Fate. Don't miss this intensely entertaining and provocative Broadway Premiere, which begins previews at The Cort Theatre (138 West 48th Street) on September 13th with an official opening night on October 4th.(Debra L Rothenberg for New York Daily News)
