Jessica Hecht and Judith Light to Star in New Richard Greenberg Play

By FELICIA R. LEE

Jessica Hecht and Judith Light, who won a Tony Award this year for her performance in “Other Desert Cities,” will star next spring in the world premiere of Richard Greenberg's new play, “The Assembled Parties,” the Manhattan Theater Club announced Tuesday.

The limited engagement will begin previews on March 19 and open on April 17 at the Samuel J. Friedman Theater at 261 West 47th Street.

“The Assembled Parties,” about a search for stability among members of a Jewish family living on Manhattan's Upper West Side, marks Mr. Greenberg's return to the Manhattan Theater Club following the 2009 Broadway revival of his 1990 play, “The American Plan.”  It will be directed by Lynne Meadow (“Wit,” “Collected Stories”), the artistic director of the Manhattan Theater Club.

Additional casting and the creative team will be announced in the coming weeks. The play completes the Manhattan Theater Club' s announced lineup for its 2012-13 Broadway season.
