Hamm, Thompson, et al. Set for LA Theatre Works' THREE SISTERS

Tessa Thompson (For Colored Girls), Jennifer Westfeldt (Kissing Jessica Stein, Tony-nominated for Wonderful Town), Sarah Zimmerman (Big Love), Jon Hamm (Mad Men) and Reid Scott (The Big C) will star in Anton Chekhov's bittersweet, serio-comic family drama THREE SISTERS at LA Theatre Works. One of the greatest ensemble pieces of all time, Chekhov's play is a wistful romance of missed chances and wasted opportunities. The production will be directed by Jenny Sullivan and will take place April 13- 17.

In the show, the Prozorov sisters, carrying the torch for enlightened society in a provincial backwater town, entertain a visiting army garrison, all the while losing their hearts to the dashing soldiers, their quixotic ideals, and a world of what-might- have-been. All performances will be recorded to air on L.A. Theatre Works' syndicated radio theater series,which broadcasts weekly on public radio stations nationwide and can be streamed on demand at www.latw.org.

Also set for the production are: Josh Cooke (Better with You, I Love You, Man); Dan Donohue (The Lion King on Broadway, 11 seasons at Ashland); Pamela Dunlap (Mad Men); Marc Halsey (Brothers and Sisters); Jon Hamm (Mad Men); Reid Scott (The Big C); Tessa Thompson (For Colored Girls); Jennifer Westfeldt (Kissing Jessica Stein, Tony-nominated for Wonderful Town); and Sarah Zimmerman (Big Love)
