Dog Day Afternoon
About This Event
Dog Day Afternoon at the August Wilson Theatre assembles an ensemble of actors familiar from film and television: Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Jessica Hecht, John Ortiz, Jon Bernthal, Michael Kostroff and Spencer Garrett. They move regularly between screen and New York theatre and favor plainspoken, detail-driven work and ensemble listening, an approach that shapes the production’s restrained, character-focused dynamics rather than showy display.
