Calista Flockhart will return to the New York stage for the second summer in a row. Last year, Flockhart made a splash in the hit limited run of Neil LaBute's bash. This summer, Flockhart will put in a two-week stint in the Off-Broadway play, The Vagina Monologues, beginning June 13, reported Variety.

Flockhart is the star of the television series "Ally McBeal." Her theatre credits include Three Sisters at the Roundabout Theatre Company.
