News PHOTO CALL: Amy Herzog's The Great God Pan Meet the Press The cast of Playwrights Horizons' world premiere of Amy Herzog's The Great God Pan greeted the press with an Oct. 23 photo op.

The show will feature the recently announced Jeremy Strong (Broadway's A Man for All Seasons), who joins Becky Ann Baker, Tony Award nominee Peter Friedman, Oliver Award nominee Sarah Goldberg, Keith Nobbs, Erin Wilhelmi and Joyce Van Patten. Carolyn Cantor directs the story of a Brooklyn journalist shaken by a revelation from the past.

The production will begin previews Nov. 24 at PH's Mainstage Theater, with an opening night set for Dec. 18. The limited run by the not-for-profit Playwrights Horizons will play to Jan. 6, 2013. 

Herzog's plays — touching on the bonds of family and friends — include After the Revolution (PH), 4000 Miles (Lincoln Center Theater), The Wendy Play (ACT in San Francisco) and Belleville (Yale Rep and upcoming at New York Theatre Workshop). Here's how The Great God Pan is characterized: "Jamie's life in Brooklyn seems just fine: a beautiful girlfriend (Goldberg), a budding journalism career, and parents (Baker and Friedman) who live just far enough away. But when a possible childhood trauma comes to light, lives are thrown into a tailspin. Unsettling and deeply compassionate, The Great God Pan tells the intimate tale of what is lost and won when a hidden truth is unloosed into the world."

Strong's Off-Broadway credits include Frank’s Home and Our House (PH); Paraffin (Rattlestick); The Coward (LCT3); Conversations in Tusculum (The Public); New Jerusalem (CSC). 

Cantor directed Herzog's family drama After the Revolution at Playwrights Horizons.

Baker's credits include Good People, All My Sons, Assassins and TV's "Smash" and "Girls"; Friedman is a Tony and Obie Award nominee who appeared in Ragtime, PH's The Shaggs, After the Revolution, Circle Mirror Transformation and The Heidi Chronicles; Goldberg earned her Olivier nomination for Clybourne Park in London, and currently appears in the Broadway production; Lortel and Drama Desk nominee Nobbs' resume includes Lombardi, columbinus and Four; Van Patten's Broadway credits include I Ought to Be in Pictures, Brighton Beach Memoirs and Rumors; and Wilhelmi was seen in Manhattan Theatre Source's Likeness.

Off-Broadway's Playwrights Horizons has two theatres in a complex at 416 W. 42nd Street.
