Deborah Vance finally returned to the stage in the final season of “Hacks” and now she will in real-life too — sorta. In a first for “Hacks” and stars Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder, the stars (and their castmates) will appear on stage in public, playing their characters in front of an audience. This is the first time Smart and Einbinder have appeared in-character outside of the Emmy-winning HBO Max comedy.

Timed to the start of Emmy Phase 2 voting, the “Hacks” cast and creators have put together a one-night-only production, to be held at the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood, set inside the world of “Hacks.”
