Katie Holmes has landed her rebound role.
Just weeks after filing for divorce from Tom Cruise, Holmes has landed a role in “Dead Accounts,” a Broadway play penned by playwright Theresa Rebeck, according to TheWrap.
Holmes, who made her Broadway debut in 2008’s “All My Sons,” will star as a woman in her 30s who is living with her parents in Cincinnati before her brother returns home with a large sum of money and his wife mysteriously out of the picture.
“It’s beyond cool, honestly. The whole team is lively as hell. I am positively tingling with delight,” Rebeck told TheWrap.
While there is no opening date slated, Tony Award-winning director Jack O’Brien has been tapped to stage the play at the Music Box.
Holmes filed for divorce from Cruise on June 28 after reportedly switching her phone numbers and e-mail addresses in addition to moving into a Chelsea apartment with her and Cruise’s six-year-old daughter Suri.
Cruise was filming his upcoming film “Oblivion” when Holmes filed for divorce.
Holmes did not want her daughter to be indoctrinated by Cruise and his fellow Scientologists and filed for divorce in order to protect the couple’s daughter from the religion. The “Dawson’s Creek” star has filed for sole custody of Suri.
Cruise and Holmes reached a settlement on July 9.
