The play - about a peacekeeping group in the North Atlantic on an aircraft carrier -- will also star "Burn After Reading" actress Frances McDormand.

"North Atlantic" will run in Los Angeles from February 10-21 and in New York, from March 10 - April 25.

The Wooster Group will produce the show.

On Sunday, Maura's former "Parenthood" co-executive producer, Jason Katims, updated reporters on the actress' condition.

"She's doing well... She's doing really good," he told reporters at NBC's Television Critics Association panel for "Parenthood." "She's in treatment and I spoke to her a few weeks ago and she's doing good."

That is very good news indeed =).
