READY TO FLY

After several years away from the stage, Mary-Louise Parker finally returns in Manhattan Theatre Club and MCC Theater’s co-production of Sharr White’s The Snow Geese. Here, she stars as Elizabeth Gaesling, who gathers her family together for their annual shooting party in upstate New York after the death of her husband. But it’s not exactly a happy time, as her eldest son is headed to the European trenches of World War I and her younger son reveals that their beloved father has left them in debt. Tony winner Daniel Sullivan (Proof, Rabbit Hole) directs.
