"Grey's Anatomy" Star Is Part of Cast of Brooklyn-Set Buzzer, Beginning Tonight at The Public

Tessa Ferrer ("Grey's Anatomy," Proof), Grantham Coleman (As You Like It) and Michael Stahl-David (The Overwhelming) star in Tracey Scott Wilson's Buzzer, which begins March 24 at the Public Theater Off-Broadway.





Buzzer, about racial tensions in Brooklyn, is directed by Obie winner Anne Kauffman (Somewhere Fun). Performances will run through April 26 at the Public's Martinson Theater.

According to the Public, "Buzzer is a darkly funny new play about race, real estate and sexual betrayal."

Harvard-educated lawyer Jackson (Coleman) returns to his formerly tough Brooklyn neighborhood now "on the verge" of gentrification. When a childhood friend comes to crash, fresh out of rehab, tensions mount between Jackson and his white girlfriend Suzy (Ferrer). "The trio quickly becomes trapped between the tensions inside their own home and the dangers that may lurk outside. Anne Kauffman directs this electrifying New York premiere about love, fear, and the uncomfortable price of privilege."

Playwright Tracey Scott Wilson currently writes for FX's "The Americans." Buzzer has played at the Goodman Theater, Pillsbury House Theater and The Guthrie. Her earlier works The Good Negro and The Story were both produced by the Public Theater.

Tickets are available by calling (212) 967-7555 or visiting online at publictheater.org. The Public Theater is located at 425 Lafayette St., Astor Place.
