Tate Donovan to return to Broadway in spring 2011

[July 15, 2010]  NEW YORK (AP) -- Tate Donovan will return to Broadway this coming season in "Good People," a new play by David Lindsay-Abaire.

Donovan will star alongside Oscar winner Frances McDormand.

Tony Award winner Daniel Sullivan will direct the play about the hopes and struggles of making it in America. Sullivan and Lindsay-Abaire's "Rabbit Hole" earned a Tony Award and garnered Lindsay-Abaire the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 2007.

The Manhattan Theater Club production begins previews in February, with opening night set for March 3.

Donovan is known for his television performances on "Damages" and "The O.C." His last Broadway appearance was in 1999, when he starred alongside Judi Dench in "Amy's View."
