The cast will also feature Dara Hartman (Natalie/Ed), Ryan Overberg (Chad), Eric Hatch (Dean), John Hillner (Jim Haller), Jannie Jones (Sylvia), Paul Sabala (Dennis), LaQuet Sharnell (Lorraine), and J.T. Turner (Sheriff Earl, Warden) .
The ensemble will include Matt Allen, Amanda Bailey, Michael Campayno, Andrea Collier, Marlana Dunn, Rachel Fairbanks, Jesse Jones, Joshua Keith, Joe Moeller, Kyle McAdam, and Mia Michelle McClain.
DeWitt, who will play Mayor Matilda Hyde, is best known for her starring role as Janet Wood on the ABC sit-com Three’s Company. Her previous theater credits include Love Letters, It’s Connecticut, Miss Abigail’s Guide to Dating, Mating and Marriage!, A Scattered, Smothered and Covered Christmas Musical, Dinner With Friends and The Last Night of Ballyhoo.
