Betsy Price
Actor Harry Hamlin and actress Stefanie Powers will appear in one of Delaware Theatre Company's 2019-2020 plays.
Executive director Bud Martin announced the new season Saturday night before the opening of "St. Joan."
Hamlin and Powers will appear in "One November Yankee," about the survivors of a plane crash. The play is set to run Oct. 23 - Nov. 10.
Hamlin is best known for starring in the 1981 film "Clash of the Titans" and television series "L.A. Law." He's married to Lisa Rinna, who stars on "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."
Powers is best known for starring on the television series "Hart to Hart."
Martin has a history of bringing recognizable faces to the First State stage. In his first year, he hired Peter Strauss, Ian Lithgow (son of John) and Michael Learned to star in 2012's "The Outgoing Tide" by Philadelphia playwright Bruce Graham. That show went on to New York City.
In 2013, he cast Lucy DeVito, known for "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" as well as being the daughter of Danny DeVito and Reha Perlman, in another Graham play, "Any Given Monday." Lucy's mother was played by Leslie Hendrix, who played medical examiner Elizabeth Rodgers on the "Special Victims Unit" and "Criminal Intent" franchises of "Law & Order."
Learned came back to DTC in "Love Letters" with actor Daniel Davis in 2014.
Also set for the new season are:
• A zany, three-actor version of the Sherlock Holmes tale, "The Hound of the Baskervilles," running Sept. 11-29.
• A five-actor, new version of "A Christmas Carol," Dec. 4-Dec. 29.
• John Patrick Shanley's "Outside Mullingar," a romantic comedy set in rural Ireland, Feb. 12-March 1, 2020.
