Pullman, Stiles to star in 'Oleanna'

Show to open in Los Angeles in June

Bill Pullman and Julia Stiles will topline a new production of David Mamet's "Oleanna," opening at LA's Center Theater Group in June.

Helmed by Doug Hughes ("Doubt"), the production is presented at CTG's Mark Taper Forum in association with Jeffrey Finn, the commercial producer who has been developing the production for several months, with Stiles long said to be attached.

No plans for a future life for the show have yet been confirmed.

Mamet's battle-of-the-sexes drama centers on a college professor and his female student.

In the CTG season, "Oleanna" takes the place of the previously announced "Uncle Vanya," which did not materialize due to obstacles in casting, according to CTG a.d. Michael Ritchie.

"Oleanna" begins previews May 28 ahead of a June 5 opening.
