    About This Event

    Dog Day Afternoon at the August Wilson Theatre brings a cast of stage-savvy screen actors to a single production: Jon Bernthal, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Jessica Hecht, John Ortiz, Michael Kostroff and Spencer Garrett. Many move regularly between New York stages and film or television, and their acting tends to favor plainspoken, ensemble-minded detail over display—an approach central to this staging.
