Hank Azaria and Sanjit De Silva also star in the new play, directed by Thomas Kail at the Public Theater.
The Public Theater celebrated the opening night of Sarah Burgess' Dry Powder on March 22. The production, which is directed by Thomas Kail (Hamilton), will run through on May 1.
Dry Powder stars Emmy winners Claire Danes (Homeland) and Hank Azaria (The Simpsons) as well as John Krasinski (The Office) and Sanjit De Silva.
Azaria leads the company as Rick, who, in the same week as his private equity firm forced massive layoffs at a national grocery chain, threw himself an extravagant engagement party, setting off a publicity nightmare. Fortunately, Seth (Krasinski), one of Rick's managing directors, has a win-win deal to invest in an American-made luggage company for a song and rescue his boss from the company's PR disaster. But Jenny (Danes), Seth's counterpart, has an entirely different plan: to squeeze every last penny out of the company, no matter the human toll.
Dry Powder features scenic design by Rachel Hauck, costume design by Clint Ramos, lighting design by Jason Lyons, and sound design by Lindsay Jones.
