Duchovny to make stage debut in Neil LaBute play

NEW YORK — David Duchovny will make his stage debut in Neil LaBute’s “The Break of Noon.”

The “X-Files” actor will play John Smith in the seventh play by LaBute, whose last play, “Reasons to be Pretty” was nominated for the Tony Award for best play.
