Directed by Artistic Director Robert W. Schneider, the cast of the Equity-approved showcase features Kyle Caress, Chaz Alexander Coffin, Katie Griffith, Caleb Grochalski, Morgan Hecker, Stephanie Israelson, Halle Mastroberardino, J Savage, and Andy Tighe.

Based on the William Gibson play Two for the Seesaw, Seesaw has a book by Michael Bennett, music by Cy Coleman, and lyrics by Dorothy Fields. The musical tells the story of Jerry Ryan, a reserved lawyer from Omaha, who has fled to New York City looking for a change in his life. There he meets Gittel Mosca, a single woman who lives life to the fullest.

Songs include “It’s Not Where You Start, It’s Where You Finish,” “Welcome to Holiday Inn,” and “Nobody Does It Like Me.”
