Alicia Silverstone Set to Lead Melissa Ross's OF GOOD STOCK at MTC; Previews Begin This June

Manhattan Theatre Club just announced full casting for its upcoming New York premiere of Of Good Stock, the new play by Melissa Ross, directed by MTC's award-winning Artistic Director Lynne Meadow.

The cast will feature Kelly AuCoin ("House of Cards," Some Men), Greg Keller (Wit at MTC, Belleville), Heather Lind (AMC's "Turn: Washington's Spies," The Merchant of Venice), Nate Miller (Love and Information, Peter and the Starcatcher), Jennifer Mudge (Into The Woods, Reckless at MTC), and Alicia Silverstone (Time Stands Still at MTC, The Graduate).

MTC also announces new production dates for Of Good Stock. The limited engagement will now begin previews on Thursday, June 4 for a Tuesday, June 30 opening night at MTC at New York City Center - Stage I (131 West 55th Street).

The three Stockton sisters (Heather Lind, Jennifer Mudge, Alicia Silverstone) are witty, brilliant, beautiful - and a total mess, thanks to the legacy of their complicated novelist father. In Melissa Ross' new play, these women gather at their family home on Cape Cod for a summer weekend. Their reunion ignites passions, humor, and wildly unanticipated upheavals. MTC's award-winning Artistic Director Lynne Meadow helmsOf Good Stock, Ross' raw, poignant and hilarious look at the fun and dysfunction of that thing we call family.

The creative team for the new production of Of Good Stock will include: Santo Loquasto (scenic design), Tom Broecker (costume design), and Peter Kaczorowski (lighting design).
