Actor Amy Brenneman
May 24-29 at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, “Private Practice” star Amy Brenneman, a Harvard alum, will return to the stage with her autobiographical one-woman show, “Mouth Wide Open.”
Brenneman first broke onto the scene as one of the original cast members of “NYPD Blue”. During her tenure there, she received two Emmy nominations and a SAG award as part of Best Ensemble, for her role as Janice Licalsi.

The autobiographical stage show is full of humor and candor, and is described as “an epic journey that takes us to the place where illness and spirituality collide.” The show will be directed by Sabrina Peck.
