Anne Kauffman will direct Slowgirl, which begins previews June 4 towards a June 18 opening. Performances are scheduled through July 15. Lincoln Center Theater's Claire Tow space is in the final stages of construction atop the Vivian Beaumont Theater. The intimate venue will serve as the home of Lincoln Center Theater's LCT3, a new works initiative dedicated to the work of emerging theatre writers.

Steele was also seen in the LCT3 production of All-American. She recently appeared in the critically praised production of Russian Transport, as well as in Speech and Debate and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.

Ivanek is a Tony nominee for his work in Two Shakespearean Actors, The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial and Brighton Beach Memoirs. He earned an Emmy Award for "Damages."

The play, according to LCT3, "is the story of Becky (Steele), a teenager who flees to her reclusive uncle Sterling’s (Ivanek) retreat in the Costa Rican jungle to escape the aftermath of a horrific accident. The week they spend together forces them both to confront who they are as well as what it is they are running from."

The production will have set design by Rachel Hauck, costume design by Emily Rebholz, lighting design by Japhy Weideman and sound design by Leah Gelpe. Kauffman directed the LCT3 production of David Adjmi's Stunning. She was nominated for a 2011 Lucille Lortel Award for her direction of This Wide Night and won an Obie Award for her direction of The Thugs. Her other credits include Maple and Vine, God's Ear, Sides: The Fear is Real and The Antigone Project.

The Claire Tow Theater is named after the wife of long-time LCT board of directors member Leonard Tow. The 131-seat venue will become LCT's third stage at Lincoln Center, joining the Vivian Beaumont and Mitzi E. Newhouse Theaters.
