NEW YORK – Canadian screen star Joshua Jackson is heading to the New York stage for his Broadway debut.

The Vancouver-born actor of “Dawson’s Creek” and “The Affair” fame will star in “Children of A Lesser God.”

The Tony Award-winning play was previously adapted into a 1986 Oscar-winning film starring Marlee Matlin.

Jackson will star opposite Lauren Ridloff in the first-ever Broadway revival of the acclaimed production.

“Children of a Lesser God” explores the story of James Leeds (played by Jackson), a new teacher at a school for the deaf, who takes an interest in Sarah Norman (played by Ridloff), a one-time star student who has stayed behind to work as a janitor rather than venture into the hearing world.

The new production will be directed by Tony winner Kenny Leon, and is set to begin performances at Studio 54 on March 22.
