One Shot, One Kill is now aiming at an October bow Off-Broadway. Playwright Richard Vetere told Playbill On-Line June 26 that the play would premiere in September, with the Soho Playhouse a likely location and Scott Glenn the probable star, but that date has been pushed back a month. Also, the theatre and cast have not been identified as of yet, according to a press spokesperson.

Richard Vetere's One Shot, One Kill is about a Marine sniper in Vietnam. After he requests a reassignment, his mentor, a decorated major, becomes determined to prevent his protégé from leaving "his true calling." Joe Brancato will direct.

One Shot, One Kill was produced at Penguin Repertory Company in Stony Brook, NY, in 1998. The same producing team that backed Killer Joe will bring the Vetera work to New York. The most recent tenant at the Tribeca theatre, Uncle Bob, closed July 1.

Glenn starred in Tracy Lett's Killer Joe at Soho Playhouse in 1998. He played the title role in the vulgar comedy, about a murderous trailer trash family. His other credits include Burn This on Broadway. Glenn's many films include "Silverado," "Urban Cowboy" and "The Silence of the Lambs."

* Vetere's Gangster Apparel will be staged at Penguin Repertory Company Aug. 16-Sept. 9, in a co-production with the Emelin Theatre in Mamaroneck, New York. The comedy, which had a staging in London in the early '80s, is a comic look at the life of the Mob.
