Veteran actor Keir Dullea will star in the Keen Company production of Robert Anderson's I Never Sang for My Father Off-Broadway in 2010.

Dullea ("2001, A Space Odyssey") is the first to be cast in the production that will be directed by Jonathan Silverstein. I Never Sang for My Father is set to run March 23-May 1, 2010, on Theatre Row. Wiltsie Bridge Productions co-produces the engagement.

Anderson's 1968 play, according to Keen Company, "explores one son's struggle to balance his own happiness with the needs of his aging parents, and his yearning for a closer relationship with the father he cannot change. Gene Garrsion is a grown man with a successful career, but when his parents arrive for a visit, he finds himself in that awkward position of feeling like a child again. When tragedy strikes, Gene is forced to examine his responsibility to himself and his family in new ways."

In addition to his well-known film roles in "2001, A Space Odyssey" and "2010, The Year We Make Contact," Dullea has appeared on stage in Butterflies Are Free, Dr. Cook's Garden, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and P. S. Your Cat Is Dead! Additional screen appearances include "The Thin Red Line," "Bunny Lake is Missing," "Channing," "The Eleventh Hour," "De Sade" and "Hoodlum Priest."
