Kathleen Turner will return to Broadway in the role of a recovering alcoholic nun in “High.”

The new play by Matthew Lombardo explores the relationship between a nun and a 19-year-old drug addict she’s trying to help. “High” will begin previews March 25 and officially open April 19 at the Booth Theatre on 45th Street.

Rob Ruggiero will direct.

It’s the first time back on Broadway for Turner since she nabbed a Tony nomination opposite Bill Irwin in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” She also received a Tony nomination for “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.”

Lombardo’s credits include the Katharine Hepburn bio-play, “Tea at Five,” starring Kate Mulgrew that played off-Broadway. He made his Broadway debut last year with “Looped,” starring Valerie Harper.
