Alec Baldwin Returns to Broadway in ORPHANS Spring 2013

Alec Baldwin will return to Broadway next spring in Lyle Kessler’s Orphans directed by Daniel Sullivan, and produced by Frederick Zollo and Robert Cole. This will mark the first Broadway staging of the play. Mr. Baldwin said, "I have dreamed, for a long time, of doing this play with this director. It's an honor to work with Dan Sullivan in Lyle Kessler's Orphans."

In the play, two orphaned brothers are living in a decrepit North Philadelphia row house. Treat, the eldest, supports his damaged younger sibling by petty thievery, and makes the house a virtual prison for the seemingly simple-minded Phillip. One night he kidnaps a rich older man; Harold turns out to have his own motives and becomes the father figure the boys have always yearned for. 

Alec Baldwin will play the role of Harold; the roles of Treat and Phillips are yet to be cast. It will play at a Shubert Theatre to be announced.
