The play will be produced by the Manhattan Theatre Club and will be directed by Lynne Meadow. It is set to open on January 20th, 2016.
Lavin won the Tony for best actress in a play in 1987 for Neil Simon’s Broadway Bound. Since Alice went off the air she has combined work on the stage with a variety of television and film appearances.
