    About This Event

    Dog Day Afternoon at the August Wilson Theatre assembles an ensemble of screen and stage actors: Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Jessica Hecht, John Ortiz, Jon Bernthal, Michael Kostroff and Spencer Garrett. The group's work emphasizes grounded, plainspoken performances and ensemble listening rather than display. Hecht brings Tony-nominated stage experience; Bernthal and Moss-Bachrach contribute recent television visibility, while Ortiz’s LAByrinth background and Kostroff’s steady stage work underscore an actor-driven approach.
