Holmes to play it for laughs on Broadway

KATIE Holmes is going back on the stage for the first time since announcing her divorce from Tom Cruise.

The actress will star in Theresa Rebeck's "Dead Accounts," a five-character comedy that will be directed by three-time Tony Award winner Jack O'Brien, according to producers.

Her last appearance on Broadway, which also marked her debut, was in the 2008 production of "All My Sons." The news she will return to a Times Square stage is also a signal she may intend to stay in New York.

Holmes became a star in teen soap opera "Dawson's Creek," and had roles in such well-regarded films as "The Ice Storm," "Go" and "Wonder Boys." But after she began dating Cruise, she took a three-year break that concluded with the poorly received "Mad Money."

Producers said Rebeck's comedy "tackles the timely issues of corporate greed, small town values and whether or not your family will always welcome you back."

Earlier this month, Holmes said she and her soon-to-be-former husband had reached a divorce agreement.
