The Former Secretary of State, NY Senator, and First Lady will be featured in the offstage role of The Giant.

The Arkansas Repertory Theatre has announced the full company for their production of Into The Woods, running April 19 - May 15. Former Secretary of State, NY Senator, and First Lady Hillary Clinton will voice The Giant.

The role of The Giant is an offstage role, and it is likely that The Rep will follow the recorded dialogue convention established by previous revivals of Into the Woods, rather than having Clinton backstage for every performance.

Performances run April 19 - May 15. Further information can be found at www.TheRep.org.

Clinton has deep ties to Arkansas, having previously served as the First Lady of the state during her husband Bill Clinton’s governorship.

The Second Stage production is the first Broadway revival of Richard Greenberg’s 2003 Tony-winning play, about a major league baseball star who comes out of the closet.

Second Stage’s Broadway revival of Richard Greenberg’s Take Me Out began previews at the Hayes Theater March 10 prior to an official opening April 4. Directed by Scott Ellis, the production is currently scheduled to continue through May 29.

Jesse Williams stars as baseball star Darren Lemming, center fielder for the Empires, who comes out of the closet, revealing a tradition of long-held unspoken prejudices off the field. As the Empires struggle to rally toward a championship season, the players and their fans begin to question the old ways, their loyalties, and the price of victory.

Co-starring with Williams are Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Patrick J. Adams, Julian Cihi, Hiram Delgado, Brandon J. Dirden, Carl Lundstedt, Ken Marks, Michael Oberholtzer, Eduardo Ramos, and Tyler Lansing Weaks. The company is rounded out by understudies Ryan Broussard, Michael Castillejos, Lance Takeshi, Stephen Wattrus, and Tim Wright.
