The production, which plays through Dec. 17, also features Broadway favorite Liz Larsen. James Glossman directs. The Value of Names casts Klugman as "a retired comic whose career was derailed by the McCarthy-era blacklist. His daughter, an actress and working on a project when her director falls ill and leaves the project. Taking his place is the man who betrayed him to the House UnAmerican Activities Committee – and his former best friend. These circumstances converge to give the two men the opportunity to confront each other — face-to-face."
Best known for his television work on "The Odd Couple" and "Quincy M.E.," Emmy Award winner Jack Klugman has appeared on Broadway in Golden Boy, A Very Special Baby, Gypsy (Tony nomination), Tchin-Tchin, The Odd Couple, The Sudden and Accidental Re-Education of Horse Johnson, I'm Not Rappaport, Three Men on a Horse and The Sunshine Boys.
