Jackson, Mississippi, 1964. When his wife kicks him out, respectable dentist Bill Perch (Ed Harris) moves into the seedy Jacksonian Motel. There, his downward spiral is punctuated by encounters with his teenage daughter (Juliet Brett), a gold-digging motel employee (Glenne Headly), a treacherous bartender (Bill Pullman), and his now-estranged wife (Amy Madigan). Revolving around the night of a murder, The Jacksonian, brimming with suspense and dark humor, unearths the eerie tensions and madness in a town poisoned by racism. This production includes Set Design by Walt Spangler, Costume Design by Ana Kuzmanic, Lighting Design by Daniel Ionazzi, and Original Music and Sound Design by Richard Woodbury.

The New Group continues its 2013-2014 season with the world premiere of Thomas Bradshaw's Intimacy, directed by Scott Elliott (Winter 2014), and the New York premiere of Sharr White's Annapurna, directed by Bart DeLorenzo, starring Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman (Spring 2014).
