Janet Planet | Premieres in Summer 2024
Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Annie Baker makes her directorial debut this summer with Janet Planet, a quiet portrait of an 11-year-old girl and her single mother set in 1991. Baker's style will connect with fans of slice-of-life stories that are spare on plot, but resonate with mood and natural, unaffected dialogue. Emmy winner Julianne Nicholson ("Mare of Easttown") stars as mother Janet, with newcomer Zoe Ziegler as the young girl who orbits her.
