LAURIE METCALF TO STAR IN BROADWAY PLAY PRODUCED BY SCOTT RUDIN

|July 09, 2025
Little Bear Ridge Road, Samuel D. Hunter's acclaimed small-cast play about loneliness, compassion and a search for connection between an aunt and her nephew in rural Idaho, will come to Broadway this fall in a production starring Laurie Metcalf and Micah Stock.
The production, directed by Joe Mantello (Wicked), will mark the return to Broadway of producer Scott Rudin, who in 2021 paused his producing activities and resigned from the Broadway League amid reports of bullying behaviour toward assistants and others.
Rudin is producing the show with Barry Diller, a billionaire media mogul who has frequently backed his shows.
The play is scheduled to begin previews Oct 7 and to open Oct 30 at the Booth Theater for an 18-week limited run.
Hunter, the playwright, is best known for The Whale, which was adapted into a 2022 film. He was raised in Idaho, and many of his plays are set there and feature socially isolated working-class characters. This will be Hunter's first play staged on Broadway.
