Helen Hayes Award winners Sherri L. Edelen and Nancy Robinette will star in Signature Theatre’s production of writer-director Joe Calarco’s comedy, Walter Cronkite Is Dead, to run October 26-December 26.

In the play, two women find themselves sharing a table, stuck in an airport by a storm. Representing two sides of the culture wars — one red state, the other blue state — Margaret and Patty reluctantly strike up a conversation that encourages them to open up, challenge their world views and find common ground.

The creative team includes James Kronzer (sets), Chris Lee (lights), Kathleen Geldard (costumes), and Matt Rowe (sound).


Calarco is currently directing Primary Stages’ production of In Transit. His many stage credits include Shakespeare’s R&J, The Light in the Piazza, The Burnt Part Boys, and The Memory Show.
