Tony® Award Nominee Micah Stock ’11 Returns to Broadway in ‘Little Bear Ridge Road’
Costarring Laurie Metcalf, the play debuted last summer at the renowned Steppenwolf Theater Company where Stock was hailed by The Chicago Sun Times as “shockingly terrific” and “a revelation.”
In LBRR, Stock plays a struggling gay writer returning to his small Idaho town and locks horns with his razor-tongued aunt, played by Metcalf.
As the last two estranged members of the Fernsby family tree, they reunite to grapple with a crumbling house, a tangled history, and the mess left behind by a troubled father.
Written by Samuel D. Hunter (The Whale), directed by Joe Mantello (Wicked), and produced by powerhouse entertainment duo Scott Rudin and Barry Diller, LBRR has been called “bitingly funny and quietly explosive.”
Stock made his Broadway debut and earned a Tony® nomination for his performance in the revival of Terrence McNally’s It’s Only a Play. He has also appeared in Showtime’s miniseries, Escape at Dannemora, directed by Ben Stiller; the FX series, Kindred; the theatrical film, Maggie Moore(s), with Jon Hamm and Tina Fey; The Right Stuff on Disney+; Amazon Studios’ Life Itself; and on stage in Away We Go and The Front Page.
Little Bear Ridge Road opens October 30 (previews begin October 7) at the Booth Theater in New York City.
