Jodie Foster’s Son Charlie Joins Anora Breakout Luna Sofía Miranda in Off-Broadway’s Girls Will Be Girls (Exclusive)

Charlie B. Foster is following in mom Jodie Foster into the spotlight. .

The elder son of of the Oscar winning actress is continuing to rack up acting credits, this time joining the cast of Girls Will Be Girls, the new play which will have its world premiere this summer at The Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre at The Pershing Square Signature Center in New York City.

PEOPLE can exclusive announce the production and its casting. Written by and co-starring Claire Mack, the dark comedy, begins performances July 17 with opening night set for July 24.

Charlie will star as JJ opposite Anora breakout Luna Sofía Miranda, who makes her stage debut as Scar after her breakout performance in the Academy Award-winning film from Sean Baker. Also in the cast is Chantae Miller, a Juilliard grad who plays Mads.

Billed as “a hilarious, evil feminist play,” Girls Will Be Girls unfolds over the course of one wild night where three college girls — and one boy in just a speedo — go on a pink liquor-fueled rampage to reclaim their virginity.

Directed by Atticus Orsborn (Amazon Prime’s The Three Little Proletariat Pigs), the production marks the first play by Mack, who is also behind the upcoming feature film Soy Boy and the short Lady Lithium.

Of course, Charlie — who uses he/they pronouns, and will turn 27 on July 20 — is no stranger to the screen, with credits in the films Sparks and Soy Boy, as well as the upcoming Amazon Prime series Scarpetta with Nicole Kidman. He previously appeared in HBO’s The Garcias and made their New York stage debut understudying in Second Stage’s Camp Siegfried.

Miranda, a Professional Performing Arts School alum, famously landed her Anora role after meeting Baker at the Brooklyn strip club Pumps, where she was working to support herself while pursuing acting. Her next film, Rex Provost’s coming-of-age sex comedyYouthful Pleasures, was announced earlier this month, and she’s set to debut as a writer and producer with Filmgirl later this year.

Miller, whose TV credits include CBS’s Evil, is making her Off-Broadway debut.

Understudies for the production are Declan Collins and Leah Getz.

Jodie, 62, shares Charlie with ex-wife Cydney Bernard, alongside Charlie’s 23-year-old brother, Kit. And while Charlie has seemingly embraced working in the theater, Jodie has steered clear of the stage — something she spoke about candidly about in a 2024 Interview magazine feature.

Though she performed in plays during high school and college, Jodie said she always felt slightly out of step with live performance. “Because I’d had so much experience in front of the camera, there was something about theater that felt insufficient,” she explained. “You mean the audience can look wherever they want?”

But it was a traumatic moment during her freshman year at Yale that truly cemented her distance from theater acting. Jodie was doing a college play when John Hinckley Jr. — the man who infamously shot President Ronald Reagan in a delusional attempt to impress her — opened fire. Jodie, who had received letters from Hinckley, was just 18.

“The world fell apart,” she recalled. “There were Secret Service people everywhere, I had bodyguards, and I had to be taken to a safe house.”

Still, she insisted on returning for the show’s second weekend, only to discover later that an audience member she’d shouted at during the performance had brought a gun. “The next day… the bodyguard guy came and threw me onto the ground while I was in class,” she said. “It was a traumatic moment, and I’ve never admitted that maybe that has something to do with how I never wanted to do a play again.”

“I talked myself into loving theater and going to theater, but somehow feeling like I couldn’t make that commitment to ever do it again,” Jodie added.
