    About This Event

    Dog Day Afternoon at the August Wilson Theatre gathers a screen-savvy ensemble—Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Jessica Hecht, John Ortiz, Jon Bernthal, Michael Kostroff and Spencer Garrett—who move regularly between film, television and New York stages. Their work is marked by plainspoken, detail-driven acting: Hecht’s Tony‑nominated stage practice, Ortiz’s LAByrinth ensemble roots, Bernthal’s blunt physicality, Moss‑Bachrach’s measured TV profile, and Kostroff and Garrett’s steady stage craft.
