“Broken Snow,” a psychological drama set inside an abandoned, snow-bound house, will premiere at Theatre 71 this month. It stars Tom Cavanagh of “The Flash” and “Ed,” Tony Danza of “Taxi” and “Who’s The Boss,” and former “SNL” star Michael Longfellow.
“Broken Snow” was written by Ben Andron and directed by Colin Hanlon. It will begin performances on April 19 in advance of its April 30 opening and will run through May 24.
The show follows two strangers — James, a volatile drifter, and Steven, a tightly controlled officer — who discover they share a dark familial connection. As they dig through the remnants of their father’s secret life, long-buried trauma resurfaces alongside a mysterious cigar box that may contain the truth they both crave.
Andron’s theatrer credits include “White’s Lies,” “Brave New World: The Musical,” “Facing the Music” and “Bar Mitzvah in Birmingham.” In film and television, his work includes “Hunachi and Friends” and “Heroes.”
Hanlon is an actor, writer, director, and producer based in New York City. Last spring, he directed the off-Broadway production “Kowalski” at The Duke on 42nd Street. Regionally, he has directed at George Street Playhouse, Sharon Playhouse, Theatre Workshop of Nantucket, and more.
“Broken Snow” will be produced by Broadway Engine, Daveed Ben-Arie and Willette Klausner in association with NewYorkRep.
The creative team includes Scott Adam Davis (set designer), Jeff Croiter (lighting designer), Bill Toles (sound design), Lisa Zinni (costume designer), Rod Kinter (fight coordinator), Caitlyn Murphy (props designer), Mitch Strong (production manager), Robin Carus (casting), and Aaron Grant Theatrical (general manager).
