Billy Goda's new thriller Dust opened at Off-Broadway's Westside Theatre Dec. 4.

Staged by Scott Zigler, Dust stars Emmy Award nominee Richard Masur and Tony Award nominee Hunter Foster. Also featured are Laura E. Campbell, Curtis McClarin and John Schiappa.

The work, according to press notes, "is a power play. One man is an executive with money and a paunch. The other is an ex-con with street smarts and a minimum-wage position. What starts off as a battle of wills over who will do the dusting escalates into a war for respect, the upper hand and survival. Who will be standing when the dust settles?"

Show times are Tuesday-Friday at 8 PM, Saturday at 3 and 8 PM and Sunday at 3 and 7 PM.

Tickets, priced $65, are available by visiting www.telecharge.com or by calling (212) 239-6200. The Westside Theatre is located in Manhattan at 407 West 43rd Street.
