Lisa D’Amour’s play Detroit, set in the adjacent backyards of two recovering addicts and their anxious middle-class neighbors, will be produced on Broadway in early fall of 2011 under the direction of Austin Pendleton.
No casting or theater was announced for the five-character play, which was produced earlier this season Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theater Company under Pendleton’s direction. The lead producers will be Jeffrey Richards, Jerry Frankel, and Debbie Bisno, in association with Steppenwolf.
Pendleton’s production of Anton Chekhov’s Three Sisters is currently playing at Classic Stage Company. Among his other recent directorial credits are Othello for Oberon Theatre Company and CSC’s production of Uncle Vanya.
