    About This Event

    Dog Day Afternoon at the August Wilson Theatre assembles a cast drawn equally from television and New York stages: Jon Bernthal, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Jessica Hecht, John Ortiz, Michael Kostroff and Spencer Garrett. The performers bring screen recognition and ensemble-rooted theatre practice—Bernthal's rise on The Walking Dead and identification with Frank Castle, Moss-Bachrach's work on The Bear, Hecht's Tony and Emmy nominations, Ortiz's LAByrinth leadership—and a plainspoken, detail-driven approach.
