MANHATTAN THEATRE CLUB ANNOUNCES TONY AWARD NOMINEE MARY BETH HURT TO JOIN CAST OF TOP GIRLS

Manhattan Theatre Club (Lynne Meadow, Artistic Director; Barry Grove, Executive Producer; Daniel Sullivan, Acting Artistic Director 2007-2008 Season) is pleased to announce that three-time Tony Award nominee Mary Beth Hurt will complete the cast of the Broadway premiere of Caryl Churchill’s TOP GIRLS at MTC’s Biltmore Theatre (261 West 47th Street).

Hurt joins the previously announced Mary Catherine Garrison (Rabbit Hole, Assassins), Jennifer Ikeda (Seascape, As You Like It), four-time Obie Award winner Elizabeth Marvel, Tony Nominee and Drama Desk Award winner Martha Plimpton, Ana Reeder (No Country For Old Men, Sight Unseen), and Academy Award® winner Marisa Tomei. James Macdonald (Drunk Enough To Say I Love You?, A Number) will direct.

Rehearsals for TOP GIRLS began, March 13 at Manhattan Theatre Club. The limited engagement will begin previews on Tuesday, April 15 for a Wednesday, May 7 opening night at MTC’s Biltmore Theatre (261 West 47th Street).

TOP GIRLS marks the Broadway debut of a Caryl Churchill masterpiece. At the Top Girls Employment Agency in London in the early 1980s, Marlene (Marvel) has just been appointed head of the firm. But as this ambitious career woman celebrates her achievements, can we applaud her values? This bold and ingenious work from the singularly talented author of Far Away and Cloud Nine offers one of the theatre's most honest portraits of what it means to be a woman in the modern world.

The creative team for TOP GIRLS will include Tom Pye (scenic design), Laura Bauer (costume design), Christopher Akerlind (lighting design), Darron L West (sound design), Matthew Herbert (original music), Paul Huntley (hair & wig design), and Elizabeth Smith (dialect consultant).
