On Tuesday, November 2, Richard Nelson’s That Hopey Changey Thing opened as a LAB production at the Public Theater, set to run through November 14.

First nighters included actors Matthew Broderick and Robert Cuccioli; playwright Kenneth Lonergan; and the Public Theater’s executive director Andrew D. Hamingson and artistic director Oskar Eustis.

The work is set on election day, November 2, 2010. Uncle Benjamin’s dog has died and his nieces and nephew have gathered for dinner in Rhinebeck, New York, to surprise him with a new one. While the polls close, the Apple family discusses memory, manners, and politics. The cast features Jon DeVries, Shuler Hensley, Maryann Plunkett, Laila Robbins, Jay O. Sanders, and J. Smith Cameron.
