Tatiana Maslany, the star of the BBC America series “Orphan Black,” will make her New York stage debut in May opposite Tony Award nominee Thomas Sadoski (“reasons to be pretty,” “The Newsroom”) in the world premiere of Neil LaBute’s play “The Way We Get By,” Second Stage Theater announced on Tuesday.
The drama centers on two pros in the dating world who sleep together after a drunken wedding reception and then reckon with the hook-up and modern romance the next morning. The Tony nominee Leigh Silverman (“Violet”) will direct. Previews are scheduled to begin May 12.
Ms. Maslany, who plays multiple clones on the thriller “Orphan Black,” which is now filming its third season, has performed on stage in Toronto in “Dog Sees God” and “The Secret Garden,” among other shows. Mr. Sadoski, who will return to HBO next month for new episodes of “The Newsroom,” has had a long association with Mr. LaBute, whose plays include “Reasons to Be Pretty” and the recent Off Broadway satire “The Money Shot” as well as films like “In the Company of Men.”
