Actress Katie Holmes is finally
returning to Broadway with her very first major project after her infamous
divorce from superstar Tom Cruise. According to CBS News reports, the 33-year
old actress will star this autumn in “Dead Accounts” which is a five-character
comedy by Theresa Rebeck. Three-time Tony Award winner Jack O’Brien will be
directing the said comedy.
Meanwhile, New York Times reports
that Katie Holmes will portray a character named Lorna, a woman in her 30s and
is fairly unglamorous. The female character is said to be living with her aging
parents in Cincinnati while she tries to pull her life back together. Well,
this character is pretty much describing Katie Holmes herself right? She is
clearly picking up the pieces and moving forward with her new life as a single
mom since the divorce settlement with Tom Cruise earlier this month.
Katie Holmes became famous as
Joey Potter on the hit TV teen drama “Dawson’s Creek” from 1998 until the
program ended back in 2003. Afterwards, the actress landed on a number of movie
roles including the 2005 “Batman Begins” films as she acted alongside Christian
Bale, Sir Michael Caine and Liam Neeson. The beautiful brunette made her
successful Broadway debut when she appeared alongside John Lithgow, Dianne
Wiest and Patrick Wilson in Arthur Miller’s “All My Sons” revival in 2008.
Nowadays, playwright
Theresa Rebeck is definitely delighted about Holmes being part of the
production. "It's beyond cool, honestly. The whole team is lively as hell.
I am positively tingling with delight,” Rebeck shared in an interview with The
Wrap. The play will have its opening this fall at the Music Box Theatre in New
York City where Holmes will be living with her 6-year old daughter Suri.
Meanwhile, showing dates and the other casting news will be further announced.
