I don't know if Kathryn found the time to join Steppenwolf Theatre Company's 40th anniversary gala at May 14. But her ex-husband Terry Kinney took Maeve with him. You can find a cute photo of both here in the gallery.

Kathryn at One on One with Steve Adubato & THE FATHER gets One Week Extension
Kathryn gave an interview yesterday. Let's hope the One on One with Steve Adubato people will publish it online soon.
Frank Langella-Led THE FATHER get One Week Extension at Manhattan Theatre Club
Manhattan Theatre Club's American premiere of The Father, the new play by Molière Award winner Florian Zeller, with a translation by two-time Tony Award winner Christopher Hampton (Sunset Boulevard, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, God of Carnage) and directed by Tony Award winner Doug Hughes (Doubt, Outside Mullingar, City of Conversation) will extend by one week at MTC's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre (261 West 47th Street). The limited engagement, which opened on April 14 to critical raves, has been extended through Sunday, June 19.
Frank Langella received his seventh Tony nomination for his role in The Father and was awarded the 2016 Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Actor in a Play. Langella is also nominated for the 2016 Drama Desk Award and will be honored at the 2016 Drama League Awards for this performance. The Father has been nominated for the 2016 Tony Award, Drama League Award and Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Play.
Below is a sample of what New York critics had to say about this new production starring three-time Tony Award winner and Academy Award nominee Frank Langella joined by Tony Award nominee Kathryn Erbe ("Law & Order: Criminal Intent," The Speed of Darkness), Brian Avers(Rock 'n' Roll, The Lieutenant of Inishmore), Charles Borland (A Man for All Seasons), Drama Desk Award nominee Hannah Cabell (Pumpgirl at MTC, Grounded), and Kathleen McNenny(Fish in the Dark, An Enemy of the People at MTC).
"Powerful and darkly humorous. Playwright Florian Zeller is a rising star." -Joe Dziemianowicz, Daily News
"Frank Langella gives a must-see performance." -Jesse Green, New York Magazine
"Frank Langella, with that sonorous voice and commanding presence, not only holds the stage, he owns it. When you're not hanging on his every line and gesture, you may stop for a moment to try and study how he does it. But don't bother because his performances are seamless and when he slips into a role, the actor evaporates leaving no trace." - Roma Torre, NY1
"Frank Langella Devastates. Under the confident direction of Doug Hughes, Florian Zeller's The Father has aspects of both a thriller and an absurdist comedy, and something more poignant than either." -Alexis Soloski, The Guardian
Now 80 years old, André (Frank Langella) was once a tap dancer. He lives with his daughter Anne (Kathryn Erbe) and her husband Antoine. Or was he an engineer whose daughter Anne lives in London with her new lover, Pierre? The thing is, he is still wearing his pajamas, and he can't find his watch. He is starting to wonder if he's losing control.
The creative team for The Father includes: Scott Pask (scenic design), Catherine Zuber(costume design), Donald Holder (lighting design), Fitz Patton (original music and sound design), and Jim Steinmeyer (illusion consultant).
Lead support for The Father has been provided by MTC's Producing Fund Partner, Andrew Martin-Weber.
