DAVID ALAN GRIER JOINS MAMET'S 'RACE': Comedian/theater vet cast alongside Kerry Washington in satirical Broadway play.
(July 29, 2009)
*David Mamet has yet to release information regarding the storyline of his new Broadway play "Race," but we do know that David Alan Grier has just joined Kerry Washington in the cast, reports Broadway.com.
The play has been described as a satire on the state of race relations – and that's about all that has been revealed as far as plot.
James Spader and Richard Thomas are also in the play, which begins previews at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on Nov. 16 and is set to open Dec. 6, directed by the playwright.
A Tony nominee for playing Jackie Robinson in The First, Grier has appeared on Broadway in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and Dreamgirls and off-Broadway in A Soldier's Play and the Public Theater's productions of Richard III and The Merry Wives of Windsor. He was also featured in Des McAnuff's production of The Wiz at La Jolla Playhouse.
