The star-studded cast of The New Group's upcoming production of Sam Shepard’s Curse of the Starving Class – David Anzuelo, Kyle Beltran, Calista Flockhart, Cooper Hoffman, Jeb Kreager, Stella Marcus and Christian Slater — will read an excerpt from the upcoming production.
Actors Marin Ireland, Lois Smith and Nat Wolff will read additional selections from Shepard's other works. The readings will be followed by a conversation about Sam Shepard's life and work as one of American theater's most inimitable voices with the actors and The New Group's Artistic Director Scott Elliott.
Actor. Director. Playwright. Icon. Before Sam Shepard became a star onscreen for his performances in films like Days of Heaven and The Right Stuff, he was writing some of the most distinctive plays of his era. Among them was Curse of the Starving Class, a timeless story that troubles and dismantles the American dream in its examination of a family fighting to stay alive, performing Off-Broadway this winter in a new production directed by award-winning Scott Elliott.
