Peet replaces LaBute at Geffen

- — Christie D’Zurilla

“Our Very Own Carlin McCullough,” written by Amanda Peet and directed by Tyne Rafaeli, will replace “Fat Pig,” written by Neil LaBute and directed by Jo Bonney, as the final 2017-18 show at the Geffen Playhouse’s Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater, the playhouse announced Monday.

The play — about a 10year-old tennis phenom, her single mom and her coach — starts its run this summer, with casting yet to be announced. It’ll be Peet’s second produced play.

The Geffen gave no reason for the cancellati­on of “Fat Pig,” which was to have been the stage debut of Chrissy Metz of “This Is Us.”
