NEW YORK—Debra Winger, the star of such movies as "An Officer and a Gentleman" and "Urban Cowboy," will make her Broadway debut this winter in a new work by David Mamet.

Producers said Tuesday that Winger and co-star Patti LuPone will begin performances of "The Anarchist" on Nov. 13 at a theater still to be announced.

The play, which will be making its American debut, is about typical concerns to Mamet—politics, money, religion and sex. The playwright, who also wrote "Glengarry Glen Ross" and "Race," will direct the play.

Winger's previous stage credits include "How I Learned to Drive" and "Ivanov" at the American Repertory Theater in Massachusetts, and "The Exonerated" off-Broadway. She'll take over the role won by Laurie Metcalf, who withdrew due to a scheduling conflict.
