Easter began rehearsal yesterday at the Gene Frankel Theatre. We preview in 24 days. Jolie and Nathan played father and son in Playing with Fire (read the NY Times review) and this time Jolie plays Nathan's father's business partner, who can throw the family out onto the street if he forecloses.

 

Lenora (Lea Smith) and Benjamin (DeSean Stokes).

Ellis (Nathan James) and Lindy (Jolie Garrett).

Lea and DeSean are new to the company and play Nathan's sister - who had a nervous breakdown when their father went to jail - and Benjamin - an orphan whose inheritance their father misappropriated!
