Lincoln Center Theater (under the direction of André Bishop, Artistic Director, and Bernard Gersten, Executive Producer) wil present Thomas Sadoski, Stockard Channing, Stacy Keach, Linda Lavin and Elizabeth Marvel in OTHER DESERT CITIES, a new play by Jon Robin Baitz, directed by Joe Mantello. Performances begin Thursday, December 16 at 8pm. Opening night is Thursday, January 13 at 6:45 pm.

In Other Desert Cities, Brooke Wyeth (to be played by Elizabeth Marvel), a once promising novelist, returns home after a six year absence to celebrate Christmas in Palm Springs with her parents (Stockard Channing and Stacy Keach), former members of the Reagan inner-circle, her brother (Thomas Sadoski), and her aunt (Linda Lavin). When Brooke announces that she is about to publish a memoir focusing on an explosive chapter in the family's history, the holiday reunion is thrown into turmoil and the Wyeths are both bound together and torn apart as they struggle to come to terms with their past.

Thomas Sadoski was nominated for the Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Actor for his performance in Neal LaBute's Reasons To Be Pretty. He made his stage debut in 1999 in the Second Stage production of Gemini and, most recently, appeared as Touchstone/Stephano in the Bridge Project production of As You Like It, directed by Sam Mendes. His TV credits include Ugly Betty and As The World Turns.

OTHER DESERT CITIES will have sets by John Lee Beatty, costumes by David Zinn, lighting by Kenneth Posner, sound by Jill BC DuBoff and original music by Justin Ellington.
