James Eckhouse (CTG's The Goat, "Beverly Hills 90210") doubles as Rhona's self-righteous liberal ex-husband and one of Charlotte's johns, and Los Angeles theatre newcomer Gabriel Sunday ("Taking Woodstock") doubles as Rhona's manipulative teenage son and a seductive male escort.
The Escort is the Geffen Playhouse's second commission from Emmy Award-winning screenwriter (HBO's "Normal" and "The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader Murdering Mom") and playwright Jane Anderson.
