Mary-Louise Parker To Make Broadway Return In ‘The Snow Geese’

By THE DEADLINE TEAM | Wednesday April 10, 2013 @ 11:00am PDTTags: Broadway, Mary Louise Parker, The Snow Geese

The Weeds veteran is heading back to Broadway this fall. Mary-Louise Parker will star as Elizabeth Gaesling, the newly widowed matriarch of a family that gathers at their home in upstate New York for a hunting party, in Sharr White’s WWI family drama The Snow Geese. MTC and MCC Theater’s world premiere co-production opens October 24 for a limited 11-week engagement at MTC’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, where Parker earned a Tony nomination for her turn in 2004′s Reckless. The last time Parker and director Daniel Sullivan collaborated on Broadway, both nabbed Tonys for their 2000 production of David Auburn’s Proof. On the big screen, Parker next appears in two summer actioners facing off July 19: Universal’s R.I.P.D. and Summit’s RED 2. She is repped by WME.

‘Weeds’ Cast Mum On Final Season: TCA

By THE DEADLINE TEAM | Monday July 30, 2012 @ 3:53pm PDTTags: Justin Kirk, Mary Louise Parker, TCA, Weeds

Diane Haithman contributes to Deadline’s TV coverage.

At today’s TCA panel on Weeds, creator-executive producer Jenji Kohan and cast members (Mary-Louise Parker, Hunter Parrish, Alexander Gould, Kevin Nealon and Justin Kirk) were unwilling to reveal any details about how the show’s final season will unfold.

“We’re shooting the finale right now, I hope it works,” Kohan said. Parker said she cried when she read the script.

Kohan did say there’s an advantage to knowing this is the show’s final season: “We knew it would be the end just before the season started,” she said. “I was very sad about that, it’s been great. It’s hard to let go of a good thing.”

Added Kohan, “Once we got the news, I thought, oh shit, so many times we’ve written our (season) ending not knowing what is coming next.” This time, she said the finale will not end with a cliffhanger and that “ultimately, it’s a show about family.” Read More »
