    About This Event

    Dog Day Afternoon at the August Wilson Theatre assembles a screen-to-stage ensemble: Jon Bernthal, Ebon Moss‑Bachrach, Jessica Hecht, John Ortiz, Michael Kostroff and Spencer Garrett. Each brings a steady New York theater presence alongside notable television and film work — Bernthal's blunt, grounded choices; Moss‑Bachrach's measured realism; Hecht's precision and close listening; Ortiz's ensemble sensibility; Kostroff's disciplined detail; Garrett's stage-centered character logic. Their combined experience frames an actor-driven, plainspoken staging.
