Emmy winner Jeff Hiller (Somebody Somewhere, Widow’s Bay) will star in a nine-performance limited run of James Hindman‘s The Exhibitionist Off-Broadway at SoHo Playhouse, performing November 9-21. Andrew Russell will direct.
Hiller will star as Justin, the oldest and most charming intern at The McMillon Museum of Art, guiding patrons to an exhibition of a recently discovered Van Gogh as his own art is being judged in a big competition just downstairs. Press notes describe the work as “a love letter to artists [that] explores the lengths we will go to define our worth and success.”
“I could not be more thrilled to be returning to the stage this fall with The Exhibitionist, a play that so beautifully represents exactly what it is to be an artist,” says Hiller in a statement. “Getting to present this iteration of the show in great company at SoHo Playhouse, a venue near and dear to my heart, is simply dreamy. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, or maybe you won’t, I don’t know? You get to decide how to express yourself, that’s what it means to be an artist!”
The production will feature scenic and costume design by Christopher Ford, lighting design by Kate McGee, and sound design by Peter Mills Weiss. Brian Letchworth and Christa Scott-Reed of Occasional Drawl are producing in association with Whitley Theatrical.
