The production stars François Arnaud (as Pip/Theo), David Corenswet (as Walker/Ned) and Yvonne Strahovski (as Nan/Lina). It is directed by Tony-award winner Anna D. Shapiro and produced by David Binder, with co-producer Jayne Baron Sherman and executive producer 101 Productions, Ltd.

*Three Days of Rain* premiered Off-Broadway in 1997 at the Manhattan Theatre Club and was a finalist for the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. A 2006 Broadway run, directed by Joe Mantello, featured Julia Roberts, Paul Rudd and Bradley Cooper; it received mixed reviews but attracted strong ticket sales. The play’s author, Richard Greenberg—winner of the 2003 Tony for *Take Me Out*—died of cancer in 2025, leaving a legacy of more than 30 plays that explore upper-middle-class American life.

Director Shapiro described the revival as “a beautifully complex work that follows two generations of New York intelligentsia as they navigate the burden of family, the seduction of art and the necessity of love.” She emphasized the play’s blend of humor and emotional depth, positioning it as a timely exploration of legacy and inheritance.

People Magazine

Ben Brantley of *The New York Times* famously advised “Fans of Mr. Greenberg should definitely stay home” when reviewing the 2006 production, highlighting the play’s uneven critical reception. Nonetheless, the earlier run succeeded commercially, largely due to star power.
