From Broadway.com:

"Broadway.com has learned that Olympia Dukakis will star in Barra Grant's A Mother, a Daughter and a Gun, which is aiming for a fall New York berth.

Dukakis appeared on Broadway in 2000 with the one-woman play, Rose, which transferred from the Royal National Theatre in London. Her performance in the show won her an Outer Critics Circle Award. Dukakis received Obie Awards for her work in Bertolt Brecht's A Man's Man and Christopher Durang's The Marriage of Bette and Boo at the Public Theater. Other notable Gotham appearances include the Public Theater's productions of Curse of the Starving Class, Titus Andronicus and Electra. She last appeared on the New York stage in February 2004 in the Aquila Theatre Company production of Agamemnon at the John Jay Theatre.

A Mother, a Daughter and a Gun centers on a headstrong woman and her daughter, who is on the verge of emotional collapse."

I like the sound of this. I'll be in NYC over Christmas. I'd love to see Dukakis onstage.

It really doesn't say it will be on Broadway, does it?
