Richard Thomas to Star in Transport Group's A Man of No Importance Concert

Off-Broadway’s Transport Group has announced that Richard Thomas (You Can’t Take It With You) will star as Alfie Byrne in its upcoming concert of A Man of No Importance. The event is set to take place December 5 at 8pm at the Pershing Square Signature Center. Jack Cummings III will direct the concert, which features a talkback with the three original creators following the performance.

Featuring a book by Terrence McNally and music by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, the duo behind Ragtime and this season’s Anastasia, A Man of No Importance premiered at Lincoln Center Theater in 2002. It follows the story of an Irish-Catholic bus driver struggling to accept a secret he’s kept hidden his whole life, and finding the power to do so through the words of Oscar Wilde.

Additional casting will be announced at a later date.

Transport Group’s 2016-17 season will include Picnic and Come Back, Little Sheba: William Inge in Repertory, running February 23-April 23.
