International Arts Relations (INTAR) Theatre has announced the cast and creative team for the upcoming world premiere of O.K.! by Christin Eve Cato. Performances will run May 10-June 8, with an official opening night May 19. Melissa Crespo is set to direct.
The cast will include Yadira Correa (My Broken Language), Danaya Esperanza (for colored girls...), Cristina Pitter (The Cotillion), and Claudia Ramos Jordán (The Red Rose). Casting is by Gama Valle of Bass/Valle Casting.
The work is set inside the dressing room of a regional theatre in Oklahoma at 90 minutes until curtain for the all-new production of O.K.!, a bilingual parody of another musical the producers couldn’t get the rights for. Melinda's cast mates come to her rescue when she receives a disturbing phone call that sends her spiraling—due to the state's recent abortion ban, her upcoming appointment has been canceled indefinitely.
O.K.! will feature choreography by Judi Lewis Ockler (A Man of No Importance), scenic design by Rodrigo Escalante (Vámanos), costume design by Lux Haac (Dirty Laundry), lighting design by María Cristina Fusté (La Llamada), and sound design by Daniela Hart of Uptown Works NYC (Black Odyssey). Fran Acuña-Almirón (The Irrepressible Magic of The Tropics) will be the production stage manager.
