Krysten Ritter News

Deadline reports that award-winning actor, writer and director Danny Huston has signed on to the cast of FX's AMERICAN HORROR STORY: COVEN. Series showrunner Ryan Murphy broke the news on Sunday via Twitter

In anticipation of the new NBC hit comedy sitcom based on the hit off-Broadway play Assistance, Black Lab Theatre opens its doors on September 19, 2013, with the regional premiere of the original work -- a hilarious single act play that revolves around entry level, 20-somethings frantically trying to please their hellacious boss as calls and drama ring in. The play's TV adaptation (to star Krysten Ritter and Alfred Molina) hits the TV's on NBC later this season with Will Ferrell's Gary Sanchez Productions producing and play's author Leslye Headland signed on as chief writer. Headland herself began her career as the assistant to legendary Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein and captures the angst of a new generation trying to hit the financial big time, one post-it at a time. This 'The Office' meets 'The Devil Wears Prada' Off-Broadway comedy about ambition-driven Generation-Y staffers will run at Wildfish Theater in the Galleria Area September 19 through Oct 5 at 8pm on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays plus a Monday Industry Night on Sept 30.

Shout out to Generation Y: Black Lab Theatre has your back with a new season celebrating the coming of age in the new millennium.

Black Lab's regional premiere of Assistance comes just ahead of the play's much anticipated TV adaptation starring Krysten Ritter and Alfred Molina to be produced for NBC by Will Ferrell's Gary Sanchez Productions with the play's author, Leslye Headland signed on to scribe. Headland wrote Assistance (Greed) as part of her "Seven Deadly Sins" series, and comes on the heels of Bachelorette, another hit play in the series that recently received a feature film release in 2012 staring Kirsten Dunst. Assistance will run at Wildfish Theater in the Galleria Area September 19 through Oct 5 at 8pm on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays plus a Monday Industry Night on Sept 30.
