Maura Tierney and Steven Weber will star in Jon Robin Baitz’s Three Hotels, to run June 29 – July 24 at Williamstown Theater Festival. As previously announced, Robert Falls will direct the production.

In the two character play, Ken Hoyle is an ambitious hatchet man for a multinational company that sells defective baby formula in developing African countries. His wife Barbara advises other young executive wives on life in the third world. Their days as idealistic Peace Corps volunteers are far behind them – physically and metaphorically – and the succession of moral compromises has taken its toll.

Tierney’s theater credits include The Wooster Group’s North Atlantic, Neil LaBute’s Some Girl(s) and Nicky Silver’s Three Changes. The actress may be best known for her portrayal of Nurse Abby Lockhart on ER and for her work on NewsRadio.

Weber’s Broadway credits include The Producers and The Philanthropist, and he is best known for his work on TV’s Brothers and Sisters, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, and Wings.

In related news, it has been announced that Richard Easton, Holley Fain and Jeremy Webb will join the previously announced Brooks Ashmanskas, Kristine Nielsen, Jon Patrick Walker, and Paxton Whitehead in She Stoops to Conquer (July 27 – August 7), to be directed by Nicholas Martin.

Additionally, Diana DiMarzio, Donna McKechnie, and Jessica Wright have been cast in John Doyle’s Ten Cents a Dance (August 11-28), joining the previously reported Malcolm Gets, Lauren Molina, and Jane Pfitsch.
