Nicholas Heck to Replace Logan Marshall-Green in Pig Farm

Nicholas Heck will replace the departing Logan Marshall-Green in the Roundabout Theatre Company's production of Greg Kotis' Pig Farm.

Marshall-Green ("The O.C.," "24") is leaving the show on August 13th to start work on the new ABC show "Traveler" (also featuring stage veteran Viola Davis).

Pig Farm began previews on June 9th and opened on June 27th; it is scheduled to run through September 3rd at the Laura Pels Theatre (111 W. 46th St.).  The satiric play stars Tony Award-winners Denis O'Hare and Katie Finneran, as well as John Ellison Conlee.

"Under a pot-bellied sky on a struggling pig farm somewhere in America, Tom (Conlee), Tina (Finneran) and their hired hand Tim (Marshall-Green) fight to hold onto everything they have – namely, a herd of fifteen thousand restless pigs. Dumping sludge into the river has driven Tom to drink, and Tim seems to have caught Tina's eye, but when Teddy (O'Hare), an officer of the Environmental Protection Agency arrives to inspect the operation, life on the farm explodes, implodes, then explodes again. Not literally, of course, but…you get the idea. From the Tony Award-winning team behind Urinetown, playwright Greg Kotis and director John Rando bring this absurdist, darkly comic exploration of pigs, sustainable agriculture, the federal government, mythic portrayals of American hero-types…and pigs to the Roundabout stage," state press notes.

Heck's credits include Brooklyn Boy on Broadway and All's Well that Ends Well at Yale Rep.
