Oscar nominee Barbara Barrie will join the previously announced Matthew Arkin, Johanna Day, and Celia Keenan-Bolger in a staged reading of Creating Claire by Joe DiPietro (July 16-18), as part of the Cape Cod Theatre Project‘s 15th Anniversary season, at Falmouth Academy in Falmouth, Massachusetts. Christopher Ashley will direct the play, which is an exploration of the supernova that results when science, faith and politics collide.

The season will also include Annie Purcell, Ronald Guttman, Darren Goldstein, Laura Esterman, Gil Bar-Sela, and Shelly Sussler in Zohar Tirosh’s Six (July 9-11), directed by Ian Morgan, and about a jet-lagged, sun-drenched, six-day trip to contemporary Israel; Elizabeth Jasicki, Matt Stadelman, Louis Cancelmi, Ben Rappaport, and Liam Craig in Photograph 51 (July 23-25) by Anna Ziegler, directed by Evan Cabnet, based on the true story of Rosalind Franklin and her unaccredited contribution to the discovery of DNA’s double helix; and comedian Aladdin Ullah in his one-person play, Indio (July 30-August 1), directed by Hal Brooks, in which Aladdin rejects the legacy of his immigrant parents, until a PBS documentary forces him to uncover the journey of his father, Habib.
