7:17 p.m. | Updated Initial casting has been announced for the New York production of Tony Kushner’s new play, “The Intelligent Homosexual’s Guide to Capitalism and Socialism With a Key to the Scriptures,” which will run at the Public Theater from March 22 through June 12, 2011, with opening night set for May 5.
Michael Cristofer, Linda Emond, Michael Esper and Stephen Spinella will reprise their roles from the production at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, where the play premiered in 2009. Joining them will be the actors Bill Camp (“Notes From Underground”) and Steven Pasquale (“reasons to be pretty”), who are replacing Mark Benninghofen and Ron Menzel, respectively. Additional casting is still to be announced.
“The Intelligent Homosexual,” or “iHo,” as it was referred to at one point, is a co-production of the Public and the Signature Theater Company, where the Off Broadway revival of Mr. Kushner’s play “Angels in America” is now running. The director Michael Greif, who mounted the Guthrie production, will do the same for the Public.
Mr. Kushner’s play, his first large-scale work since “Angels in America,” is an exploration of politics, sexual identity and the labor movement as seen through the eyes of a Brooklyn family.
