Opening night will be July 29, with the limited engagement continuing through August 25. Dustin Wills is directing.

The production will also have scenic design by Wills, costume design by Montana Levi Blanco, lighting design by Masha Tsimring, and sound design by Christopher Darbassie. Victoria Whooper will serve as stage manager.
