Kyra Sedgwick is going back to school.
The Emmy Award-winning actress will be starring in John Patrick Shanley’s new play The Danish Widow on the campus of Vassar College this summer.
The Closer star will play an insurance investigator in Shanley’s play, which will run from July 16 to July 27. It will also star Broadway veterans Craig Bierko and Matt McGrath, as well as stage and screen actress Annika Boras.
