NYTimes.com: TO hear Katie Holmes tell it, she is not so different from her character, Lorna, in the new Broadway play “Dead Accounts,” even if Lorna is a defensive sad sack who has moved back home with her parents in Cincinnati after a failed relationship. That image doesn’t exactly square with Ms. Holmes’s new life as a glamorous single mom in Manhattan, four months after her divorce from Tom Cruise. But if Lorna passes for anything, she passes for normal, and normal is what Ms. Holmes aspires to these days.

I think that middle class Ohio Catholics, are very similar to middle class Michiganders, and I am sure that most other mid-westerners would also fit the bill, but Michiganders are what I know. I like the idea of this play, because it is so identifiable. It is interesting that most of the cast have midwestern roots, because like they said it does give them a commonality, a certain bond. The midwest does have these great core values most of the time, but it can also be terribly suffocating too. They stereotype that they seem to leave out, is the sibling or uncle or whomever, that leaves, goes to the big cit and only comes back sporadically. And when they do come back, they are so terrified of being trapped back in what they 'escaped' from that they are antagonistic and volatile. It is sad but also definitely happens. However, the ideas that these actors are bringing to the table in this show really can hit home, regardless of where you grew up. Shows like this can be identifiable for everyone.
I loved her in Dawson's Creek. Not sure what she had been up too since.
