In a world premiere, two-time Tony Award Winner James Naughton takes the Berkshire Theatre Group’s Fitzpatrick Main Stage as Gabe in a one-man comedy, a raw and witty exploration of an estranged father-son relationship.
Cedars is directed by Naughton’s daughter, Keira Naughton, a long-time BTG artist. In Cedars, Gabe, a 50ish defense lawyer, finds himself on the more unfortunate side of life and now, by his father’s bedside at Cedars Hospital.
James Naughton is a Tony winner for performances in City of Angels and Chicago; he rose to fame on stage and went on to star in films such as The Paper Chase and The First Wives Club and The Devil Wears Prada.
