CBS Sunday Morning correspondent Mo Rocca joins the list of guest stars set to perform in Nassim Soleimanpour's play White Rabbit Red Rabbit at the Westside Theatre. He is slated for the 8pm performance on Monday, November 7.
In addition to his role on CBS Sunday Morning, Mo Rocca is host of The Henry Ford's Innovation Nation Saturday mornings on CBS as well as host and creator of My Grandmother's Ravioli on Cooking Channel and a frequent panelist on NPR's Wait Wait … Don't Tell Me! Rocca was also a correspondent for four seasons on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart and is the author of the historical thriller All The Presidents' Pets: The Story of One Reporter Who Refused to Roll Over.
On Broadway, he starred as Panch in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, played Doody in the Southeast Asian tour of Grease, and won an Emmy Award as a writer for the 2010 Tony Awards.
White Rabbit Red Rabbit features a rotating cast of stars who see the script for the first time immediately before stepping onstage for their performances: "No rehearsal. No director. No set. No spoilers," says the production. "A different performer each night is handed the script for the first time as they step onto the stage."
The show is described as follows: "Forbidden to leave his country, young Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour found a way for his voice to get out when he physically could not — distilling the experience of his isolation in an audacious and utterly nontraditional new play. This wildly entertaining and thought-provoking theatrical piece — where no audience can see the same show twice — blends drama, comedy and social experiment, providing audiences with a potent reminder of the transformative power of theater."
Additional upcoming stars include Mozhan Marnó (October 17), Joe Pantoliano (October 24), Robin Lord Taylor (October 31), Alex Brightman (November 14), and Nancy Travis (November 21).
