Amy J. Carle, Spencer Curnutt, Christine Mary Dunford, Raymond Fox, Keith Kupferer, Zanny Laird, Zoe Levin, Marianna Oharenko, Morocco Omari, Philip R. Smith, and Allison Torem will be featured in Lookingglass Theatre Company‘s presentation of Trust, written by David Schwimmer and Andy Bellin, based on the screenplay by Bellin and Rob Festinger. As previously announced, Schwimmer will co-direct the production with Heidi Stillman, which will run March 3-April 25, with a press opening on March 13.

The play concerns a seemingly innocent online encounter that threatens to unravel the fabric of an American family. The production will incorporate projection, video, photos, texting and live chat.

The design team will include Dan Ostling (set), Mara Blumenfeld (costumes), Christine Binder (lighting), Rick Sims and Michael Griggs (sound), and Bridges Media (multimedia).

Schwimmer also directed a film version of Trust. As an actor, he has appeared on Broadway in The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial and is a company member of Lookingglass Theatre. His theater directing credits include the Off-Broadway production of Stephen Belber’s Fault Lines. He is best known for his work as Ross on the hit sitcom Friends.
