(Hector, Heartbreak House; Heisenberg, Copenhagen) Jack Koenig returns to Peterborough for the third time. He made his Players debut in 2004 in Laughing Stock and The Return of the Prodigal, then returned last year in Stones in His Pockets, Private Lives, and An Ideal Husband. It has been a busy year since. Last fall Gus Kaikkonen directed him in Absurd Person Singular at the Bristol Riverside Theatre outside of Philadelphia. The new year found him at the Virginia Stage Company in Norfolk playing Jim Tyrone in Eugene O’Neill’s masterwork, A Moon for the Misbegotten. He returned to New York to play the Nazi army major in the critically acclaimed off-Broadway revival of Arthur Miller’s Incident at Vichy; and most recently, he was David Hyde Pierce’s standby in the Broadway revival of Accent on Youth. Prior to all this, Jack spent three years in the Broadway production of The Lion King, standing by for and appearing more than one hundred times in the roles of Scar and Pumbaa. He received a Drama Desk Award as part of the Outstanding Ensemble of the off-Broadway play Tabletop. Previous collaborations with Gus in New York and Philadelphia include Macbeth, The Voysey Inheritance, and Mrs. Warren’s Profession. Assiduous television viewers might have seen him on all three Law & Orders, Sex & the City, The Cosby Mysteries, Now & Again, The Education of Max Bickford, and various and sundry soaps.
