Lyric Stage Company of Boston has announced casting for its upcoming production of Saturday Night/Sunday Morning, written by Katori Hall (The Mountaintop). Performances are set to run from October 23-November 21, with an official October 25 opening.

Directed by Dawn M. Simmons, the play brings together seven African-American women in a Memphis beauty parlor/boarding house during the waning days of World War II. As they wrestle with the uncertainty of what the future will hold when, and if, their men return, they fight dirty — with each other and with their own fears and desires, uncovering newfound friendship and love.

The cast of Saturday Night/Sunday Morning features Ramona Lisa Alexander, Jackie Davis, Meagan Dilworth, Jade Guerra, Cloteal L. Horne, Tasia A. Jones, Keith Mascoll, Omar Robinson, and Jasmine Rush.

The creative team includes scenic design by Mac Young, costume design by Elisabetta Polito, lighting design by Ian W. King, and sound design by Kelsey Jarboe.
