The staging features Jenny Bacon (In the Wake), Gary Cole ("Office Space," "The West Wing"), Betty Gilpin (We Live Here), Julianne Nicholson ("Boardwalk Empire," This) and Lois Smith (The Illusion, The Trip to Bountiful, Broadway's Buried Child).

The Off-Broadway production sold out its initial run, and now continues to Sept. 30 at The Irene Diamond Stage at The Pershing Square Signature Center, 480 W. 42nd Street between 9th and 10th Avenues.

In the play, according to Signature notes, "Sally [played by Nicholson] lives with her mysterious family in a cavernous home overlooking Los Angeles. When a visitor arrives, Sally's dark secrets — and the secrets of those around her — threaten to come into the light."

Pulitzer Prize winner Shepard (A Lie of the Mind, Curse of the Starving Class, True West, Buried Child) was Signature's 1996-97 Playwright-in-Residence.

The production team includes Eugene Lee (scenic designer), Kaye Voyce (costume designer), Tyler Micoleau (lighting designer) and Eric Shimelonis (sound designer). Donald Fried is production stage manager.
