Part of the New Works Provincetown series, under the leadership of Producing Artistic Director Mark Cortale, the readings will be directed by Zhailon Levingston.
In addition to Young, the noon and 3 PM presentations will also feature Biko Eisen-Martin (East New York, Soft) and Michael Rishawn (Ain’t No Mo'). Brandon Weber serves as the casting director, and Alicia Thomas and Apollo Levine are understudies.
For Purlie Victorious Star Kara Young, Every Show Feels Like the First
Table 17 concerns Jada and Dallas, who haven’t spoken or
seen each other since calling off their engagement two years ago—until tonight. Who’s moved on?
Who’s still holding on?
Actor-playwright Lyons has appeared on Broadway in The Book of Mormon, Beautiful, and the Tony-winning revival of Parade. As a writer, he earned a GLAAD nomination for his Broadway playwriting debut, Chicken & Biscuits.
